I am a man of 51 years of age and started out with a comodore 64 in the 80s and every now and then u come across a
Beauty of a game and i have to say this game is one of those..

有些人固化思维太严重了，他们心中vr只能是恐怖和黄油，然而我玩过这款游戏，吹爆好吧，真的不错，希望以后能看倒更多类似的游戏

Spectacular platformer - beautifully animated, an enchanting protaganist in Quill the mouse, and excellent voice work.

Nominally a seated experience, but you're going to want to get up and look around the areas - partly to find the the best route through the area for Quill, and partly to admire the environments, which are simply breathtaking. It uses VR's ability to play with your sense of scale superbly.

Tips: it defaults to Low Quality graphics: which I only realised after going into the menu, as it looks great anyway. And to drop off a hanging ledge you need to press down on the left trackpad, and up on the right (jump) at the same time - took me an embarassingly long few minutes to figure this out!

Played on a Vive Pro.

Aside from being super duper ding dang adorable Moss is a great experience for the price, if you own a VR set it's one of those must-play titles, the narration is wonderful, the gameplay at most times is a relaxing experience and the camera style is great for new-VR users adjusting to their set, the world is drop dead gorgeous and you can even take breaks from actually playing just to lean around and look at and appreciate the design.
And as a bonus Moss is one of the few games in existence that is played from a 2nd Person perspective, that being you're a separate character observing the one you control rather than the common styles, this is a nice touch because it lets you pet the mouse. It lets you pet the mouse. It lets you pet the mouse!

This is the future of VR.

I've had 4 moments in 32 years of playing video games that blew my mind. They all surround a sudden mind-expanding eppiphany of "this is what is possible?"
Playing Fallout changed the notion of scale. Mario 64 and free-roaming 3D games. The limited and still mind blowing physics of Half-Life.

Then a huge gap. I've played plenty of VR games. But Moss blew my mind, because this is the future. Comfortable, immersing, emotional. This game grabbed my brain and shook it violently and left me wondering what brilliant possibilities lie in our future if this is what can be done in VR now.

Bravo to the team.

Reading through the reviews for Moss on Steam makes me pretty salty; so many people say it's a fantastic game, and then go ahead and give it the thumbs down anyway because it's "too short."
Even if this took me 2 hours to finish I'd have the same opinion, but it actually took me over 5? idk, maybe I'm just a dumbass.

In any case attributing value to a game based on its length is one of the most inane ideas - this is how we end up with Ubisoft style open world slogfests that literally have maybe 30% intereseting, engaging content and 70% ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ meaningless filler busywork padding. Is that really the sort of games you want to encourage devs to keep regurgitating?

Is Moss 'short?' Kinda. Is it also one of the best VR games available even still in 2022? Yes.

The big reason I loved Moss so much is because its one of those types of games where the devs managed to somehow marry the writing and worldbuilding intrinsically to the gameplay, and man, its some really good ♥♥♥♥.
They've nailed that magical fairy tale aesthetic so well it blows my mind. The gameworld is beautiful to be inside of to the point where I sometimes just chill and hang around for a bit to appreciate the scenery.
Overall the level design here is top notch, which is seldom the case with 3D platformers. Talking of which, the protag mouse Quill is fun to control and the VR perspective really complements the gameplay; I'd have no issue recommending this game even to those that usually hate platforming games. Her character design and animation are SSS tier.

There's some good combat, some good puzzley bits, great narrative and fantastic gameplay. It's all lovingly wrapped up in gorgeous aesthetics that literally any age can enjoy.

It's so cute I can barely

What a wonderful game. I have to be honest, I didn't think this game was worth $29.99 USD (it took me about 3.5 hours to finish which is what I had read was about the average time to finish). I thought people were overreacting to what probably was a better version of Lucky's Tales or Alone Together. Those are good games, but they are not great games. This is a great game. If you look at the Steam store page video or the screen shots, you'll see the parts but not the whole. The whole is a wonderful, immersive storybook experience that only VR can bring to life.

The funny thing is that I really wasn't enraptured with this game during the first hour or so. I thought, well this is just like Alone Together. It's really nothing special. In truth, it is very similar to Alone Together. In both games you're pushing / pulling devices / solving puzzles to move your cartoony hero forward. But that's really where the similarity both begins and ends.

Moss has a story to tell ... even more than that, an experience to feel. It starts out very simple. It's almost easy to be dismissive of it as just another unlikely hero tasked with saving the world. It actually reminded me of Frodo from Lord of the RIngs. But if you pay attention to all the little details you'll start growing attached to Quill. You're the Reader and your task is simply to protect Quill. Soon you'll be giving high fives and feeling ultimate joy to get your friend out of harm's way and into safety. The boss fight wasn't partiularly difficult. Truth be told, I believe I was fighting the controls more than the enemy. But it didn't matter. I felt that joy that only a good story can bring to gaming. We did it.

Rate 8/10.

QUE BUEN JUEGO LA RE CONCHA DE SU PADRE!!!

이상한 나라의 엘리스 3D페이퍼 동화책을 보신적이 있으신가요?
책장을 넘겼을때 책속에서 웅장한 성과 거대한 나무들, 그리고 다양한 등장인물들이 튀어나오는것을 보신적이 있으시다면
그 근사함과 신비로운 매력을 느껴보셨을 겁니다.

이 게임은 종이가 아닌 디지털로 구현화한 내눈 앞에 펼쳐지는 생생하게 숨쉬는 동화책 입니다.
케릭터들 모션조차 매끄러우면서 자연스럽고 효과 사운드는 리얼함에 놀라게 됩니다.
게임 주인공 퀄을 도와 모험을 같이 하는데 재미있는건 게임내에 주인공인 퀄 또한 우리 유저들을 신비로운 거인으로 인지하고 있기에 우리는 조력자로서 길을 만들어주거나 쓰러지면 일으켜주고 같이 하이파이브도 치고 따봉도 서로에게 날려주는 상호작용으로 인해 단순히 게임을 한다라는 것보단 나도 이 동화에 일부분으로 즐긴다라는 느낌을 크게 받으실겁니다.
그리고 이 게임 중요핵심인 동화책을 읽어주는 나레이터조차 생동감있게 표현해 주므로 글이없는 동화책을 읽는것이 이런느낌이구나라고 채험도 하실겁니다.

아쉽다고 여겨지는건 이 게임의 트레일러인데 VR게임을 해보신분들..
이미 이 게임을 찾아 오셨다는건 VR게임을 해보셨고 게임들을 구매를 해보셨으니 아실거라 봅니다.
VR 게임 트레일러는 VR게임 분위기와 느낌을 100프로 살려내질 못합니다. 이 부분은 잘 아실거에요.
트레일러만 보면 진부한 모험처럼 느껴지겠지만 절대로 그런 느낌이 아닙니다.

동화같은 것을 좋아하신다면 이 게임 또한 좋아하실겁니다.

(ps. 중요한 사실하나는 이 게임은 한글화 지원입니다!)

VR needs more games like this where you feel like the play area is set out in a field in front of you statically, and you're managing it from overhead like a giant god.

It's like board games and video games had a baby.

Like a board game, everything has a physicality to it, like you're managing a table covered with small objects and you have all three dimensions to work with, but like a video game everything is alive with its own simulated behavior for you to experience.

I think this represents another genre in VR that needs more love. It's akin to the difference between 'first person' and 'third person' games for non-VR. The world has an overabundance of 'first person' equivalent games in VR because everyone is excited about the sense of presence you can get, but I think there's an equally exciting opportunity to make this style of game.

I would be interested to see a room-scale game that takes advantage of these principles, like you're standing in front of a table in VR, and on top of that table (AR style) is a pop-up game world that you're free to examine from all angles as you play. 'Tactics' RPGs, city management, god simulators, etc. would probably benefit immensely from this style as well.

I'm really excited about what Moss is pioneering here, and I'd recommend everyone give it a try.

But I will say if this wasn't an exciting VR game showcasing a new way to design games, it would actually be pretty mediocre. It's pretty short, and the swordplay and platforming don't feel remotely as responsive or cool as competitors in the Zelda-like genre. Also you don't get much of a sense of exploration or progression. It's very linear.

MOSS属于进游戏玩第一分钟就会退出来先给好评的游戏。完美的VR代入感，精致的画面，巧妙的谜题，友好的互动，这一切都是垂然天成侵入在游戏过程中。小老鼠不要怕，勇敢战斗，因为背后有我。

You can pet the mouse

Ok so you went through all the trouble to build a VR capable PC gaming rig. Only trouble is, that VR rig is not complete without installing & playing Moss. It's just that good. Now that VR rig building money is well spent.

If you don't happen to have a VR rig, you should build one and check out this game. It's just that good.

If you are a tech company that manufactures and sells VR headsets (HTC, Oculus, Samsung, etc.) you should hire Polyarc and pay them a lot of money to make Moss 2 so you can showcase a great game your next device release. That way you will sell more headsets, it's just that good!

When I was 5 years old, my uncle bought this weird, grey machine called Nintendo. Both our families were gathered around the TV to experience the wonder that was Mario, one by one they played, and all died quite fast of course. They then handed the controller to me and I on my very first attempt, I finished the level. Everybody was shocked as I was the youngest one in the room and passed it without a hitch. I'll never forget that feeling of accomplishment, magic and wonder of pulling that flag and entering the castle, truly magical.

Ever since that moment I was hooked, played them all and haven't stopped since, but the no game had brought that same feeling to my heart as the very first one.

Until today.

Today I finished Moss, and I cannot express how sad I am that it's over, but how lucky I am to have experienced this masterpiece.

It was an emotional ride, and has given me hope that there is still place for surprise, wonder and creativity out there, these people have managed to captivate every element of this in a video game, scratch that, an experience.

If you don't own a VR, buy one, and buy this game, it will change your life.

主観視点じゃなくたって、プレイヤーが自分で銃やら剣を振り回さなくたってVRゲーは成立するんだぞっていう証明みたいな、椅子に座ったまま遊べるミニチュアの街並み覗き込みゲー。

主人公であるネズミを左手のスティックや右手のボタンで操作する従来形式のアクションゲームもしつつ、それはそれとしてネズミを見下ろす超越存在としてのプレイヤーもちゃんとゲーム内に居て、時々プレイヤー自身の手でネズミにとっては巨大な足場をズゴゴゴっと動かして道を拓いてあげたりする。

ネズミは直立して耳まで8cmとかその位のリアルなネズミサイズで、それがミニチュアな世界をちょこまか動き回るもんだからまあカワイイ。しかも主人公含めて一部の生き物は超越存在が自分たちの世界を覗いてるっていうのを認識してて、プレイヤーがまだ進めないルート相手に無駄に悩んでると「先にあっち行こうよ」とばかりに出口を指差したり、プレイヤーとの連携でうまく障害を乗り越えたらハイタッチを要求したりと動きも豊富。

それらすべてが立体視でサイズ感が実感として判る状態というのは、なんというか「シルバニアファミリーが動いた！」みたいな感じで、超巨大ドールハウスというかドールワールドを眺めるのすんごい癒やされる。ここ住みたい。家賃おいくらですか？

唯一の欠点は、短い。

本筋とどう絡むのかわからん脇道あったなと思ったら、それが2019/6/25に追加された追加チャプターだった模様。それ含めてもクリアまでは4時間前後。プレイヤーからは死角になる位置にあるアイテムを探して拾う収集要素はあるけれど、この世界にもう少し浸っていたい人の為の暇つぶし以上の面白さはなさそう。DLCに期待。

you hi five a mouse every time you complete a difficult puzzle.


perfection.

Très bonne surprise de le voir arriver sur PC.

Vous prenez Trine, Ghost of a tale et Ori, vous secouez très fort dans un casque VR et paf... UN petit bijou tout frais pour la VR.
Avec un vive pro et les graphismes au max, c'est top.

Must Have.

Moss verpackt eine nette Geschichte in schöner Grafik und gutem Gameplay (getestet mit der HTC Vive)
In Moss sind wir der Leser einer Geschichte, mit der wir selbst interagieren. Wir helfen einer Maus dabei ihr Abenteuer zu bestehen. Dafür bewegen wir uns durch linear angelegte, liebevoll gestaltete Abschnitte, in denen wir Puzzle lösen und die Maus lebend ans Ende bringen müssen.
Wir lenken hierbei sowohl die Maus, als auch den Leser selbst. Mit dem linken Touchpad geben wir die Laufrichtung vor, mit dem rechten können wir sowohl springen, als auch unser Schwert schwingen. Damit können wir sowohl nervige Ranken aus dem Weg räumen, Kisten zerschlagen, als auch unseren Gegnern zusetzen.
Zusätzlich können wir als Leser aktiv eingreifen. Wir können bestimmte Gegenstände, wie Plattformen, bewegen oder anhalten und unseren kleinen Freund aktiv heilen.
Insgesammt wirkt die Steuerung sehr gut durchdacht und funktioniert sehr gut. Die Grafik ist wirklich ein Augenschmaus, die Welt wirkt sehr detailreich und lebendig, der Sound ist stimmig, es ist ein rundum gelungenes Spielerlebnis.
Das Spiel ist komplett in deutsch vertont, auch hier gibt es nichts auszusetzen.
Für mich auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung, mir fällt nichts negatives ein.

Puzzle/Platformer in VR. Seated experience works but I'd really recommend putting a roller chair in the center of a big room so you can scoot around or even stand up because you'll be wanting to do it alot to look around the very detailed world for secrets :D

If you have a headset PLAY THIS NOW.

Platforming worked perfectly with Oculus Rift's analog sticks, not sure how it would play on VR sets that don't have analog sticks.

神作，连续玩了三小时通关了还意犹未尽。超级萌的鼠鼠萌你一脸血，要中文有中文，要解密有解密，要战斗有战斗，要剧情有剧情，要配合有配合，你和鼠鼠要合作的方式才能触发一些机关BOSS战也要配合（让你第一次感觉和你的两个“女朋友”玩得这么开心）。还要什么自行车！不要犹豫了买买买！

Amazing game, I consistently underestimate the possibilities of VR. Moss is a wake up call to the possibilities.

Warning, it is episodic, but i will be buying all of the episodes.

Platformers work really well in VR, Moss is a short (4 hours or so) but really well made game that's worth £10-£20 for the experience. Just be aware of the length really.

This game was a huge surprise to me. I am generally a fan of shooters and RPGs so in all honesty I bought this game for my 9 year old daughter. To my shock I have put in 2 hours into it in the last 24 hours and my game time has been hard to come by. The game is just gushing with production values. Graphics are fantastic, the story is presented very well, the puzzles and combat are spot on.

This game deserves FAR more attention than it's gotten. This is what I had in mind when I first played the demo for Gnomes & Goblins. I highly recommend anyone with interest in VR at all to give this game a shot.

Only about 7 or 8 hours long if you take your time but money well spent.

Pros:
The story is well written and contiguous. At no time are you left wondering where you are at in the story or feel like you've gotten off track.
The music is phenomenal.
The voice acting is exceptional.
The game play is enjoyable. I played on a original Vive. My processor is an I7 6700K with no overclocking with 16 GB RAM running at 3200 Mhz with a Radeon VII for a video card. The game played smoothly and without VR sickness with fairly fast load times.
I feel there is replay value here with incentive to go back to any level previously completed to try and complete the level at 100 %. Most games I don't bother with, this one I would.
Finishing the game has me excited for the next chapter.
High-fiving the mouse is awesome.

♥♥♥♥:
The only ♥♥♥ is the game is a chapter, not the full story. That being said, it's worth it.

This is a magical experience, even if it is a third person adventure, you're also there in first person, which helped me appreciating it a lot. You are actively interacting with the world even if you're also controlling the tiny mouse character.

I'm usually hard to motivate playing gamepad third person games in VR, I did that for three years with the Rift devkits so been there done that, I was all in on motion controllers as soon as I got my hands on them. This means I never got hooked on Astrobot nor Hellblade, but playing Moss with motion controllers kept me engaged, quite so.

Character animation is stellar, environments are gorgeous, sound and effects convincing, there's nothing major to complain about really. It's a jolly good time; has challenging puzzles, action sequences, combat, and things to poke and explore.

Only a few minor not picks, I did not find a way to reset the camera, there is likely a button for it, but I could not get the controls menu to actually show me anything so not sure. This means, make sure your headset is in the position you want to play from when launching the game. I also did not find an exit button from inside the game, exiting through the SteamVR dashboard works, but it always feels better to me to exit from an in-game menu.

As a side note, the game is tagged as standing/seated on the store page, when running it they say it's designed for seated play, meanwhile I played it in full room-scale, walking around poking my head into things, keeping track of Quill, the mouse, and it felt brilliant. It definitely works in room-scale, for anyone wondering, and honestly I could not imagine playing any other way.

In summary, don't miss this, especially if you like adventure games, because I guess the mix of puzzles + action + platforming is summed up as that!

Das Spiel ist beendet. Und jetzt sitzt ich hier. In der Kirche. Mitten drin. In VR ist die Kirche gefühlt 80 m hoch und über 100m lang. Ein wahnsinniges Gefühl, wenn man in diesem vituellen Stuhl sitzt - umgeben vom Kerzenschein - hinter einem der Altar - und sich in dieser riesen Kirche umsieht. So viele Details. Vor mir das Märchenbuch, dessen Geschichte ich gerade erlebt habe. Hab das Buch nun geschlossen. Die Geschichte von Quill, der kleinen, süssen Maus ist zu Ende. WIESO? WIEEEEESOOOOO???

Es war ein fantastisches Spiel. Sooo viele Details. Ich behaupte einfach, dass in diesem Jump&Run&Rätsel Genre es das Half-Life:Alyx unter den VR-Spielen ist. (Soweit ich jetzt sowas gespielt habe).

DAS IST VR!!! MAN KANN ES NICHT BESCHREIBEN!!!

Schon alleine die Interaktion mit Quill: Man kann ihn streicheln und er reagiert darauf. Wenn man nicht weiter weiß, gibt er einem sooo niedliche Tipps.

Jeder Raum/Abschnitt sieht einfach nur TRAUMHAFT aus und ist zum Niederknien. Manchmal steht man einfach auf und man hat somit viel mehr Überblick. Man guckt sogar in manchen verwinkelten Räumen "um die Ecke", so dass man auch ja nichts verpasst.

Auch die Skybox (hehe) ist ein Traum in diesem Spiel. Alles ist 3D. Sogar der entfernteste Baum. Manche Abschnitte will man gar nicht verlassen. Man spielt mit den Blättern oder mit dem Wasser. Alles reagiert auf einem selbst ... Half-Life:Alyx Style eben.

KAUFT das Game. Und wenn ihr Kinder habt oder Neffen/Nichten, welche sogar noch unter 16 Jahre alt sind: ZEIGT IHNEN DIESES SPIEL. Es ist ein Märchen. Aber auch ein 42-jähriger Zocker und VR-Begeisterter hat seinen Spaß daran. Ich denke, man hört es raus,

Vor allem: Es ist KOMPLETT in DEUTSCH!!!

PFLICHTKAUF - 100%

Juegazo, solo le faltaría doblaje al español para ser perfecto.

我的天啊...我僅僅開始了30分鐘,就已經被感動得無可言喻了...
我玩過很多VR遊戲,也玩過類似這種遊玩模式的Title (Lucky's Tale),但卻沒有一款能像這款一樣,真正讓我親身進入童話故事與主角一起展開偉大的冒險.
你就是故事中的第二主人翁, 一切都是如此自然, 生動與美麗, 主角的動作是如此的靈巧優雅又帶點俏皮, 而與你的互動又是如此的有默契...
這款VR絕對稱得上是第一款真正做到"打破第四道牆"的存在了,還在考慮要不要入手的你們不需要再猶豫了,買下來吧! 你將得到一個一生難得的大冒險!

P.S.詳細評論將會等到破關後添加.

아마 이 게임을 트레일러만 보신 분들은 이해가 안가실 겁니다.

"그냥 평범한 점프하는 퍼즐 게임이잖아. 이게 왜 VR에서 높은 평가를 받는 거지?" 이렇게 생각하실 수 있습니다.

하지만 Moss는 VR 게임에서 조작을 당하는 주체가 플레이어 자신일 필요가 없다는 것을 보여준 게임이며,

우리가 평소에 생각하는 VR 게임과 달리 역동적인 움직임을 배제하고 입체감을 살리는 방법을 이용하여

멀미를 확 줄이고 몰입감을 높히는 효과를 주었습니다.

이 게임을 하는 느낌을 조금 구체적으로 설명하자면,

현실에서 미니어쳐들로 구성된 디오라마(축소모형을 이용한 현실 구현)를 바라보고 있는데, 거기에 있는 케릭터 중 한명을 보고 조종하는 것과 비슷합니다.

여기에 귀여운 주인공, 플레이어를 놀라게 하는 주변 환경, 동화책 같은 진행 방식, 아름다운 사운드트랙이 합쳐져 크나큰 시너지로 다가옵니다.

때문에 개인적으로 VR 게임 중에서는 몇 안되는 무조건 추천하는 게임중 하나가 되었습니다.

물론 단점이 없는 것은 아닙니다. 첫번째로 조작 부분에서 짜증나는 부분이 있습니다.

기계 게를 잡고 에너지볼을 쏴야하는데 이게 조이스틱(또는 트랙패드)를 발사할 방향으로 밀기만 하면 되는데

이에 대한 설명이 조금 부족합니다. 어느 버튼을 써야하는지만 나올뿐 그걸 어떤 방식으로 조작해야하는지에 대해서는 설명해주지 않아서 여기서 시간을 잡아먹어었습니다.

이건 유튜브 영상 조사해보니 저 말고도 같은 고통을 느끼고 있는 분들이 계셔서 확실히 문제라고 생각됩니다.

옵션 버튼이 왼쪽 컨트롤러만 작동되게 한정 해놓은 것도 짜증나는 부분이였습니다. 사람마다 왼손을 쓰는지 오른손을 쓰는지 다 다른데 말이죠.

거기다 세이브 메뉴를 보면 기존 쓰고 있는 세이브 슬롯에 덮어 쓰기는 못하고 다른 슬롯에 저장을 하도록 만들어놨습니다.

오토 세이브를 지원하는 게임일지언정 유저의 안도감을 위해서 세이브할 수 있게 해주는게 원칙이라고 생각하는데

세이브 슬롯 다쓰면 직접 저장도 못하게 해놓는 바람에 뭔가 심리적으로 불편한 감이 있습니다.

두번째로는 모으는 목적이 불분명한 수집품입니다.

이 게임에서는 수집품이 두가지입니다. 잊혀진 조각, 그리고 유물 먼지.

잊혀진 조각은 VR이기에 볼 수 있는 숨겨진 장소에 있으며, 유물먼지는 주변 박스나 배럴을 부수면 나옵니다.

그런데 둘다 다 모으고 나면 사용되거나 이벤트로 넘어가는 것이 딱히 없습니다.

잊혀진 조각은 그래도 VR의 특징을 잘 이용한 퍼즐 같은 느낌을 받지만,

유물 먼지는 다 모아도 별 의미도 없을 뿐더러 그걸 모으기 위해서 온 맵에 있는 나무쪼가리들을 미친놈 마냥 부수고 다녀야합니다.

다깨고 나니 이걸 굳이 넣을 필요가 있었나 하는 생각이 듭니다.


결론을 내리면, Moss는 VR이라는 매체의 고정관념을 깬 힐링 게임이지만, 편의성에서 조금 아쉬운 그런 게임이였습니다.


경자년, 하얀 쥐의 해를 기념하며 본 게임을 즐겨보시는건 어떨까요?

Let me just say I’ve played through this gem a few times. Oculus store (my wife wanted it) and PS4(my sons wanted it) and now through steam (I wanted it) and I can’t say enough how heartfelt, cute, exciting and mesmerizing this beautiful experience is! It’s a true testament to what the combination of next level immersive technology and exceptional talent can bring! I can only sit in excitement for what this studio brings next! Bravo Polyarc! Bravo!

Moss is a third-person puzzle platformer for VR. In it, players take control of a small mouse named Quill who, armed with a sword and a lot of heart, will find herself battling, jumping, and climbing her way through several landscapes to save her uncle Argus. Though unlike other third-person VR games, you aren't just left as an unnamed entity floating in the void; you are known as The Reader, and you will find yourself working in tandem with Quill to help her on her quest. There's a fairly deep story that encompasses the past, present, and future of Quill's race, and while the game doesn't end on a cliffhanger it does leave room for another installment.

Much like Theseus, this release places the camera in a stagnant spot that allows for optimal viewing of the current location. Players that might find themselves prone to motion sickness will be pleased to know that there is no camera movement whatsoever; unlike Along Together, which finds the camera panning with the movement of the characters. Although Moss is a seated experience, I found that a handful of locations required me to stand up to see where to move Quill and how to pass certain areas, so those that are completely chair-bound may not be able to participate in this adventure; at least not without a guide or some guesstimation.

The only real downside to Moss are the controls. After spending just a little over an hour in the game, I'm finding that my hands are aching and cramped due to the convoluted layout and semi-faulty mechanics. Everything works pretty well so long as you're taking your time, but moving fast is of the essence the closer you get to the end of the game. Trying to maneuver Quill in a speedy manner causes many control-related deaths, as she doesn't seem to want to grab on to a ledge unless she jumps at it perfectly straight-on. Additionally, she seems to want to stop running and start walking if you hit the dead zones between directional inputs. Evading attacks is nearly pointless as well, as you must push left and then right to perform the slow technique.

What makes Moss so special isn't its graphics, which are decently life-like, or its amazing soundtrack, but the interaction between yourself and Quill. At the end of my playthrough, I found myself very attached to this little mouse, and I felt a real sense of sadness in my heart each time she died. A few times I found myself instinctively reaching out to try and catch her before she fell. This bond is started from the very beginning of the game, as Quill will even look at you as curiously as you look at her; we all do it, getting really close to certain models to try and inspect them as thoroughly as possible.

If you're looking for an extremely fun seated adventure, then Moss is definitely a worthwhile investment. The price isn't too steep, considering the campaign length is roughly 4-5 hours depending on how good or bad you are at platforming. There's also some replayability if you're interested in finding hidden collectibles. The real satisfaction in playing this game is the unique bond that you'll end up feeling with Quill by the end of it all; as you've high-fived, cheered, bickered, and otherwise interacted with each other for the entire event. Moss is another excellent example of how third-person games can, will, and do work in a VR environment.

Годнота. Визуально приятная и проработанная игра.

... Прошёл... хочу продолжение!

쥐 쓰담쓰담 됨.

Imagine Tomb Raider with a tail and very cute, it's called Moss.

Unique puzzles, challenging, great story, amazing graphics.

Must have for all VR owners.

Play on Quest 2 via SteamVR and Virtual Desktop.

If the thought of playing a third person static-viewpoint VR game is a turn off for you, I get you. It was for me as well. The first appeal of VR is that so far, you've always been told you're the hero but with this technology, you can finally truly feel like it's true. Wouldn't playing third person directly oppose that?

The overwhelming positive reviews convinced me to give it a shot despite my reservations and honestly, this is by FAR my most memorable VR experience so far. The game starts out "neat" as you get used to the idea, and see that the third-person fear were totally unfounded. Then it gets great. Then you're like "OMG this game is amazing" and by the end, you're jumping in place thinking "EPIC!!". Seriously, this is a game you will remember for the rest of your life. I have 20 years of gaming experience and yes, this game is that good.

51 Minutes in and all I do is say "wow" every few minutes. The levels, animation, sounds, narrator, storytelling, all is vibrant, lovely, cute and on point. It's definitely the best seated experience I had besides "I expect you to die", which is also great fun. It managed to drag me in quickly.

What is Moss?

It's a seated experience and it mixes and blends different experiences, real world and gaming related, into a neat cute and lovable package. You sit and watch while Quill, the cute mouse you're bonding with (and control), walks around the diorama, almost like the way you played with toys as kids, with the hero toy having an adventure. Everything in front of you is the stage and it basically plays like a sidescroller with 3D levels instead. It rewards looking around (with your whole upper body) to find hidden scrolls scattered in each stage, sometimes out of your sight if you don't move. So keep looking around and help Quill collect them all. It's a plattformer with fights, puzzles and it just oozes charm.

The story, as far as I can tell, is neatly told, it's definitely a childrens book story, but don't let that fool you. It's a cute heroes journey and I'm ready to hop back into it anytime.

Quills Animation is so cute and fluid, you'll find yourself wanting to pick her up and cuddle the little white furball. ♥

TLDR: If you're owning a VR, you should own Moss. It's cute, adorable, inspiring, beautiful game and a must buy for VR if you ask me. And if you can find it on sale, buy it twice. Just buy it.

HTC Vive review.
Wow amaze balls! A VR game that's not a wave shooter, has more content than 30 minutes, Has a proper story and has Beautiful design, Quill is your little protagonist (A mouse), Its a platforming game with some combat that you need good timing to win, Playing through all the environments is wonderful, If you have played Luckys Tale then thats a good example of the kind of game it is. The downside is the Vive controllers, They are not good for precise platforming and it was becoming infuriating trying to control Quill with the over sensitive Vive pads, It's a mess and needs improving in my opinion. But the saviour is the Xbox controller which I am now using to control Quill and use the wands to interact with the environment, by opening gates and moving platforms etc. Each section is a puzzle at times and you will need to figure stuff out to progress, The story is told in a book as you sit in a big church and listen and watch the animated book come to life. It's another part of this engrossing game. and one not to miss, even with the big negative with controls, Buy it!

You can stand or sit and walk around the map if you want.
(Runs on high settings flawlessly on my 980ti)
*When using the controller Quill just keeps running until you flick the joystick (needs better support)
Load times are longer than you want and it's just blackness. which takes you out of the immersion especially when you die a lot.

Купил игру про мыша проходи не спеша.Кому понравилась лаки тейл советую к покупке.

This mouse makes my heart melt, I would die for her.

10/10

Things I've learned from Moss: It's really inconvenient to cry into your VR goggles.
Get. This. Game. If nothing else, to show your loved ones what VR is capable of.

Love it. This is a Fun VR Game. Super smooth Animations, a really cute Protagonist, nice Stpry, beautifull Maps, good (not too hard) Puzzles, some Actionparts here and there, some mixed in Humor. VR works great without giving me the slightest Nausea. All in all: Total Recommendation. Game is not too long but if you take your time, you can get quite a few hours out of it. I consider the Price as fair, One of the Titles every VR Enthusiast should have in his Library. I enjoyed it!

I suffer from pretty bad motion sickness when playing VR for around 30 minutes, however I was able to play Moss for over 2 hours and still felt fine, so this is a great game for people who normally suffer from motion sickness.

As for the game itself, the story was immersive and compelling, and the game was visually stunning. I especially loved the little interactions between Quill and the reader.

As others have noted already, the game is a little short. I finished the game in 4.2 hours, and managed to grab around 80% of the collectables on that first runthrough.

Overall, at its current pricepoint ($41.99AUD/$29.99USD) it's a bit pricey, but I personally don't have any regrets paying that much for it.

I was going to get PSVR for this game but I'm really happy I can play on my pc now instead. The game is absolutely stunning, one of the highest quality VR games I have played to date. This is a must-have for all VR players.

This is a fantastic game, but if you have a Vive, where the pads are even slightly worn, I would skip this title, you really need every degree on the pads for this game to work, and even then the controls are really frustrating. This game made it obvious to me what a failure the Vive wands are

Moss, a timed PSVR exclusive, is finally available on PC for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Scroll to the bottom to see if it is worth getting.

The story follows a brave little mouse Quill. She finds an ancient “glass relic” while exploring the woods near her village. Quill takes her finding back home to ask her old uncle if he knows anything about it. He tells Quill that magic powers have awoken and that she is in grave danger now. The rest you will learn throughout the game.

Moss is a seated VR experience. The game is presented as a storybook that is being read to you by a narrator. You are being addressed as a reader. Although you are not the main character you are still a part of the story. In Moss you play as yourself and you also have a direct control over Quill.

The game largely plays as a 3rd person action-platformer. Quill can jump, climb and fight enemies with a tiny sword. As a reader your hands are being represented by glowing orbs. You help Quill to solve puzzles, clear paths by moving blocks and interacting with different mechanisms that are too large for Quill. You can also heal Quill if she gets injured.

Both of you form a solid team. Quill will always point you in the right direction if you don’t know what to do. She even high fives you when you get the solution right!

Moss is a linear game split into multiple chapters that can be replayed at any time. Each chapter has a number of hidden collectibles (“relic dust” and “forgotten fragments”). These collectibles are purely optional but it provides a fun additional challenge and a reason to revisit the game.

The game’s magical world is very beautiful. Quill feels alive, her movements are very smooth. Since every scene is concentrated right in front of the player, Polyarc was able to achieve the level of polish that many current gen VR games are lacking. It really is like being inside a fairy tale.
Sound effects and music are great. The narration is also done very well.

The game is well optimized and runs great. I did not experience any technical issues whatsoever.
For Oculus Rift users: Steam version uses Oculus SDK and should be identical to an Oculus Store version. There is a native Touch support. Steam VR does not need to be running.

Moss is a carefully crafted game with beautiful graphics and a heartwarming story. Both combat and puzzles offer a decent challenge but are never too difficult or frustrating. It is a very unique VR experience and a great game overall. This is an easy recommendation for me.
The sequel is already in the works. I hope it will be even bigger and better. I cannot wait!

My gameplay video:

Mit Moss von Polyarc gibt es einen weiteren gelungenen Port eines PSVR-Spiels auf den PC. Wenn nicht sogar der Beste bisher. Wenn der Save-Data Kudelmudel behoben wurde. Wir müssen tatsächlich neu anfangen, weil wir nach einem Spielabsturtz versehendlich unseren aktuellen Standort überschrieben haben ... Gut, wenn das Spiel nicht so verdammt niedlich wäre, würde ich mich jetzt aufregen. aaargh!

Wir erleben die Abenteuer der süßen kleinen quirligen Mäusin Quill, als interaktiver Leser der Geschichte. Das ist eine wunderbare Idee eine Geschichte zu erzählen. Der Spieler spielt gleichzeitig die kleine Quill und den gesichtslosen geisterhaften Leser. Die Steuerung mit den Vivecontrollern ist zu Beginn etwas schwierig, da es im laufenden Spiel keine Möglichkeit gibt diese nachzusehen, muss man sie sich gut merken. Mit der Zeit funktioniert die Steuerung aber intuitiv.
Quill ist sehr süß animiert und interagiert putzig mit dem Spieler bzw. Leser der Gechichte. Wir haben immer wieder geschmunzelt über die liebevollen Bewegungsanimationen der kleinen Maus. So rennt und klettert sie durch wunderbar detailreiche und animierte Level, die immer wieder zum Staunen bringen. Moss bietet eine nahezu atemberaubend schöne Grafik und das schon auf der niedrigsten Grafikeinstellung. Obwohl das Spiel im sitzen gespielt werden kann oder gespielt wird, steht man immer wieder auf, um sich die Szenarien genau anzusehen.

Man merkt diesem Spiel die Liebe der Programmierer zu ihrem Produkt an und man merkt auch sehr stark, daß dies ein Playstationspiel ist, denn ein so (m)ausgereiftes Spiel, gibt es selten in der PC-VR Welt.

und nach mehreren Upadates und neuem Kapitel macht Moss gleich nochmal doppelt soviel Spaß!

Ein ausgesprochen empfehlenswertes Spiel. Alle Jump and Run- sowie Rätselfreunde werden es lieben.

English:
------------------------------------------>
With Moss from Polyarc there is another successful port of a PSVR game to the PC. If not even the best so far. If the save-data muddle has been fixed. We actually have to start over because we accidentally overwrote our current location after a game crash ... Well, if the game wasn't so damn cute, I'd be upset right now. aaargh!

We experience the adventures of cute little lively Mäusin Quill, as an interactive reader of the story. It's a wonderful idea to tell a story. The player plays both little Quill and the faceless ghostly reader at the same time. The control with the vivecontrollers is a bit difficult in the beginning, because there is no possibility to look them up in the running game, you have to remember them well. But with time the controls work intuitively.
Quill is very sweetly animated and interacts cutely with the player or reader of the story. We were always smiling about the loving movement animations of the little mouse. So she runs and climbs through wonderfully detailed and animated levels, which always amaze us. Moss offers almost breathtakingly beautiful graphics and this even on the lowest graphic setting. Although the game can be played or is played sitting down, you always get up again to take a close look at the scenarios.

You can see the love of the programmers for their product and you can also see that this is a Playstation game, because such a mature game is rare in the PC-VR world.

and after several updates and a new chapter Moss makes twice as much fun!

A highly recommendable game. All jump and run and puzzle fans will love it.

short masterpiece, definitely one of must play VR games,
look forward to the second book of moss!

8/10

The best Zelda-like you can get on PC, the best Zelda-like you can get in VR.

Scenes are stunningly beautiful and puzzles are alright. Not the hardest but pretty similar to what you'd expect from a Zelda game.

The world itself is very detailed and made me fall in love with it instantly. Same goes for Quill, the female rodent protagonist, which is one of the cutest characters I've ever seen in a video game. Especially its interaction with and the acknowledgement of myself as a being within that world highly contributes to a special relationship.

I'm right in a middle of that well written story and I'm looking forward for experiencing the rest of it. And I'm sure I'll do a second play through to find all of that scrolls!

Очень приятный палатформер где нужно управлять персонажем как на геймпаде, то есть стиком и кнопками, и одновременно помогать ему взаимодействуя с игровым миром руками. Прошел на одном дыхании за 2 часа.
Полный видео обзор:

살다살다 게임하면서 죄책감을 느낀 게임은 처음입니다. 퀄이 죽을 때마다 극심한 죄책감을 느낍니다... 그만큼 게임이 리얼하고 캐릭터가 실제로 제 앞에 있는 것 같습니다 .

为什么游戏启动之后，只有声音，黑屏！玩不了！！！

虚幻引擎下不错的画面+优秀的关卡设计+会与你击掌的小鼠+旁白有中配甚至粤配=值得一玩的VR解谜/平台跳跃游戏。

扣分项在于quest2手柄默认的菜单键被steam vr界面呼出键覆盖了，需要在steam vr里改键位。

vr游戏做到现在，追求沉浸感是好事，但大多数vr游戏仍选择第一人称视角。毕竟从德总、doom那个时期开始，游戏制作者就发现，第一人称是最明显最直接的提升沉浸感的方式。只能说，vr游戏为什么现在玩起来仍不过如此，一部分是硬件限制和价格、游玩空间的门槛导致受众面较窄，还有一部分在于vr游戏越做越同质化了。你做fps，我也做fps，他做恐怖游戏，手上没有枪的fps，大家都是嘴里叼个摄像机跑来跑去。本来游戏厂商或者设计团队擅长做或者适合做这种俯视角场景解谜，或者横版游戏，甚至rts，体量也比不上3A，非要硬着头皮上。说真的，到现在vr打枪这块还得看半条命。其他那些技术力差不多和手游五五开吧。

抱怨了这么多，还是希望vr游戏能多些像本作这样的不一样的尝试。希望有生之年能看到vr版小小梦魇或者vr版帝国时代。

玩了不到一小时，迫不及待来给好评：

这个游戏让我觉得我的VR没白买！这只可爱的小老鼠和梦幻的场景我可以看一天。
如果视角能跟着小老鼠动而不是切换场景就更棒了。

还有微软 MR设备也能玩的，但是支持设备里面没标注，可能有些微软MR玩家会以为玩不了。

this is the best VR game I've ever played !!!


looking forward to your next work.

I'm at a loss of words how great this is. I feel like a kid again, exploring my first NES games back in the 80s. The format of this game just proves that VR works for any genre and game mechanic. Just beautiful.

Hats off to the devs!

Only negative is that the Vive controllers are a bit frustrating, the game needs some fidileity that the vive controllers touchpad just cant give. But its a minor minus on a amazing game.

You really should own this if you like VR. Combines "normal" games with VR style games really well and doesn't feel cheaply made or rushed. Get it ASAP.

通关之后出来看了下时长，骂了一声自己废物，但凡玩得快一点都能赶上白嫖

Devo dire che sono abbastanza allibito. Non capisco se sono io a essere troppo critico, se sono i miei gusti personali, se sono il solo a non avere il portafoglio a fisarmonica... non lo so.
So solo che io non posso fare a meno di valutare un acquisto, prima e dopo, in base al rapporto qualità prezzo.
La qualità c'è, ma "finito" il gioco non riesco a togliermi di dosso la sensazione di essere stato preso in giro.

Il mio conteggio ore arriva a 4 solo perché ho fatto provare il titolo anche alla mia ragazza e un po a mia madre, ma da solo, in un unica run, arriverei a malapena a 3.
Non è tanto quello il problema. è il fatto che il gioco finisce a tronco, sparandoti in faccia che hai finito il libro 1 e di avere pazienza per continuare col libro 2.
Ok aspetto, spero che sia solo una suddivisione interna al gioco, non dovrò mica comprare il seguito. Vero? Vero?

No, intende proprio l'attesa di un rilascio o di un DLC o di un Moss 2! ♥♥♥ ogni probabilità a pagamento!
Il gioco è bello, molto ispirato, l'idea è originale in ambito VR e ben sviluppata, ma non puoi avviare la trama, farmela godere, arrivare a un buon punto della trama e proprio lì... zac! Tagliare tutto! Arrivederci al prossimo episodio!

Non capisco come possa venire elogiato questo dato di fatto: pagare 25€ (se non lo trovate scontato) per giocare 2/3 ore ed essere lasciato a metà trama. Se il gioco si chiamasse "Moss Episodio 1" già sarebbe diverso il mio stato d'animo. Ma anche in quel caso 25€ mi sembrano eccessivi. Da non comprare a più di 10, massimo 15€.
Veramente assurdo che nessuno (almeno per quanto ho trovato io in rete) non abbia evidenziato questo fatto.

Beautiful game! I can't wait for more!

I hear bad things about the vive wand, but it's absolutely perfect with the Index controllers.

进游戏没有中文字幕和语音的朋友可以准备一个xbox手柄与电脑连接，按下手柄上的菜单按键调出菜单方可选择。

Moss es el claro ejemplo de que la VR también funciona en otros géneros más allá de la primera persona. Yo era uno de los escépticos de que la VR básicamente solo se justificaba para primera persona... pero después de jugar a Moss (y algún otro), queda demostrado que es un error garrafal tener ese pensamiento.

El juego dura unas 5 horas máximo, por lo que pese a que no es muy largo, tampoco es una "experiencia Vr". Es decir, es un juego hecho y derecho. Hay que decir que el juego realmente se juega sentado (de hecho es el único videojuego VR que he jugado sentado), fundamentalmente porque es la altura correcta para ver los escenarios "correctamente", si jugamos de pies veremos los escenarios desde un ángulo "incómodo" y tendríamos que jugar mirando hacia abajo. No obstante, el juego nos invitará a menudo a levantarnos e inspeccionar los escenarios y verlos desde otro ángulo.
En el juego interpretamos a un lector de un libro, una especie de cuento de hadas cual "Historia Interminable", cuyos protagonistas son una ratona llamada Quill (aunque a mí me suena a nombre masculino XD) que encuentra un cristal mágico mediante el cual "ve" a una especie de ente ancestral, el cual encarnamos nosotros y es desde el punto de vista que el jugador verá el juego.
♥♥♥ el Stick izquierdo controlaremos a Quill, ♥♥♥ los botones derechos del mando de Rift S golpearemos ♥♥♥ la espada y saltaremos para las plataformas, finalmente ♥♥♥ los sensores de movimiento interactuaremos ♥♥♥ Quill en diferentes situaciones de la aventura. Hay que decir que aunque el juego es impresionante de principio a fin, la interactuación ♥♥♥ Quill la esperaba mayor. Es decir, el juego realmente si quisiesen hacerle en plano sin controles de VR realmente sería fácil de portear, pues lo que son las características de control de la realidad virtual tampoco es que se usen en exceso, eso sí, sería muchísimo menos impresionante el juego.

Los gráficos como ocurre siempre ♥♥♥ la VR, visto desde el visor, parece literalmente otro juego, da igual las fotos y videos que veáis del juego... cuando os ponéis el visor no tiene nada que ver, una maravilla.
Mención especial al trabajo INCREÍBLE de los animadores para la ratona Quill, porque es de las mejores animaciones que he visto en tiempo. Por ejemplo, dependiendo de hacia donde golpeemos, las animaciones cambian totalmente. Han puesto muchísimo mimo en esto, y evidentemente no se han creado ♥♥♥ captura de movimientos.
La banda sonora y el doblaje al inglés está muy bien, todo el doblaje lo hace la misma actriz poniendo voces caricaturizadas de los diferentes personajes (como si nos estuviesen leyendo un cuento)

En definitiva, si sois usuarios de VR, o tenéis pensado pasaros a esta tecnología en un futuro, este juego es IMPRESCINDIBLE. A ver si la 2º parte (llamada Book 2) sale pronto en PC, porque es de los mejores juegos que hay para la VR.

Moss erzählt ein recht klassisches Märchen, in dem sich die kleine Maus Quill auf der Suche nach ihrem Onkel den Gefahren einer mittelalterlichen Fantasy-Welt stellen muss. Es gibt aber einen netten Twist, denn wir als "Leser" sind gleichzeitig auch Teil der Welt und der Handlung. So können wir mit der süßen Heldin interagieren und ihr zum Beispiel nach erfolgreichen Passagen ein High-Five geben. Das klingt erstmal unspektakulär, aber es sind gerade diese kleinen Momente, in denen die Vorzüge der VR besonders zur Geltung kommen. Zudem ist Quill wahnsinnig toll animiert und wirkt dadurch umso lebendiger.

Die Handlung samt Dialogen wird von einer Erzählerstimme im Stile einer Märchentante vorgetragen. Diese Herangehensweise ist natürlich Geschmacksache, aber zumindest bringt die deutsche Version so keine wirkliche Bedrohung und Spannung rüber und wirkt eher für Kinder gemacht. Die Geschichte wurde mittlerweile übrigens bereits mit Moss: Book Two fortgesetzt, das bisher aber nur für Playstation VR verfügbar ist. Dem Ende merkt man entsprechend ein bisschen an, dass es eher der Abschluss der ersten Etappe ist.

Die Gameplay-Seite
Spielerisch bietet Moss Platforming-Passagen, Umgebungsrätsel und Kämpfe. Hier fällt dann auch auf, dass der VR-Titel kein reines Kinder-Spiel ist, denn alle drei Gameplay-Säulen bieten auch für gestandene Spieler eine angenehme Herausforderung. Die Umgebungsrätsel erfordern oft, dass wir als Leser aktiv in die Welt eingreifen und zum Beispiel ein Hindernis verschieben, damit wir mit Quill Richtung Ausgang der Passage navigieren können. Das erfordert Auffassungs- und Kombinationsgabe und bei der Ausführung Platforming-typisch auch ein bisschen Geschick. Um die rund vierstündige Geschichte noch ein wenig zu verlängern, kann Quill neben der Suche nach Collectibles über versteckte Portale drei etwas komplexere Rätsel-Dungeons erkunden, die mit besserer Rüstung und Waffen locken.

Unser Arsenal kommt dann in den gelegentlichen Kämpfen zum Einsatz, die mit zwei Angriffstypen für Quill und einer übersichtlichen Anzahl an Gegnertypen nicht sonderlich tiefgehend ausfallen. Einen willkommenen und spaßigen Tempo-Wechsel stellen sie aber definitiv dar. Viele Treffer hält unsere Maus nicht aus, aber in Form des Lesers können wir sie heilen und sogar die Gegner stören, während wir mit Quill auf die allzeit mechanischen Wesen einhauen.
Neben den Standardkämpfen enthält Moss sogar recht spektakuläre Bosskämpfe und schafft es generell sehr gut, seinen Gameplay-Mix frischzuhalten. Keine Mechanik wird zu oft bemüht und auch die Rätsel arten nicht in Routine aus.

Sehr positiv fällt auch die Optik auf, die zwar auf einen recht klassischen Mittelalter-Fantasy-Look setzt aber durch die tadellose VR-Umsetzung glänzen kann. Die zauberhaften Lichtstimmungen und der hohe Detailgrad sorgen für idyllische Waldlandschaften und stimmungsvolle Burganlagen. Und der Look wartet bei näherer Betrachtung auch mit einem schönen Twist auf, denn gemäß der Größe unserer tierischen Protagonistin bewegen wir uns quasi durch eine Miniaturwelt in einem Wald von realer Größe. Dieser Ansatz harmoniert perfekt mit der Perspektive, aus der wir dieses Abenteuer erleben.

Persönliches Rating: 83/100

Fazit

un producto redondo, sería igualmente bueno sin vr en cuanto jugabilidad y ambientación, pero en vr la inmersión es total y ♥♥♥ un punto de vista (nunca mejor dicho) diferente a lo que hay en vr habitualmente. Como pegas diria el momento de carga entre pantalla y pantalla que te rompe un poco el ritmo, y parece que tiene una corta duración, 4 o 5 horas de juego, pero como se dice, las mejores esencias van en frascos pequeños.

以为删了中文，跟官方道个歉！因为我是从Index体验了些日子的Oculus。Quest2无线VD玩这个游戏就没有中文。所以Index还是专业的生态圈稳定的。官方快些优化Quest按键。那么费劲折腾的Quest玩家怎么玩呢。首先按手柄菜单键，切出来之后选择手柄方案，找到需要设置的应用（Moss）,选择社区使用人数最多的方案，激活并应用就可以了。然后就可以按左手柄的B键进入游戏设置，选择字幕和中文语音就可以了。如果未能生效检查手柄配置是不是还是官方默认设置，切换到自定义就可以了。其他设备一样可以通过社区手柄方案修正过来。我尝试过无线VD Quest2并且接入Watch_Dongle接收器混搭使用指虎。但是其他游戏都没问题的混搭方案在这个Moss游戏上接入第4个手柄会发生白屏。只能强制退出无法游玩。

N'hesitez pas a rejoindre Quill dans ce plateformer/action intelligent au level design impeccable !

Une aventure depaysante et enchanterresse qui rappelle Trine a son epoque mais sublimé par la VR qui rajoute cette sensation de presence inegalable sur ecran et vous permet d'interagir directement avec le decors ! Son seul veritable defaut est d'etre un peu court (4H) et l'on en voudrait vraiment plus vu la qualité du titre...!!! Vivement la suite !

VERDICT:
I struggle to play VR for long periods of time so this took me longer to complete than it should have, but i'm glad I took my time with this beautiful world because there's so much to see in each area. Yes, the game is short but the devs did such a good job with the world that it deserves the credit it's getting. There's one big error with this game that can't go unnoticed and that's the controls, I struggled in parts to move Quill around but it's more of the Vive joysticks than the actual game. Also, a very nice touch with petting and giving high-fives with Quill after completing a puzzle, this is what VR is all about.
Total Score = 81/100.

GAMEPLAY:
Moss is an adventure game viewed from the first-person perspective. The player is shown in the game as a masked face and orb. Unlike most games, Quill is aware of the player. The player controls Quill, navigating environments and battling enemies. The player also can manipulate the environment to navigate obstacles and solve puzzles. Quill communicates with the player through the use of body language for puzzle hints and emotional responses.

The player can change positions to have different perspectives of the world, leaning to see around buildings or standing up and getting an aerial view. There are collectable scrolls that only can be found by changing positions and exploring parts of the world that normally cannot be seen.

I don’t usually review games as a habit but I do make the occasional exception when a game is particularly good and really moves me... So with that being said here is my amateur review of Moss…

WOW WOW WOW! I cannot say enough about this game. It is engaging, unique, captivating and charming all rolled up into an adventure that stands out like nothing else I have ever played in VR. You are basically living in a story book, controlling the main protagonist – Quill. Making him run, jump and fight enemies all to save his uncle from the evil that lurks in the shadows.

The gameplay is amazing but what is even more amazing is how this all is presented to you. VR makes the environments come to life before your very eyes. You look down upon the land of Moss while controlling Quill and interacting with the environment before you, helping your little friend move through her quest to fight the evil that has captured her uncle.
Each time Quill would overcome a puzzle or best her enemies or both, you and her will move to the next scene. With each new scene presented I found myself more and more amazed at how beautiful the environments are. This is truly a delight and a place that I did not want to leave.

To me, Moss is by far the best game I have ever played in VR. I was continually drawn into the world of Moss as each new chapter unfolded before my eyes. The puzzles while somewhat simple were to me-a joy to overcome. I tend to get bored with frustration if things get too difficult. However I really feel that they struck the perfect balance between simplicity and fun for the world before me.

I do read others reviews about the controls being too difficult or not accurate enough, and I can tell you with complete honesty that in the beginning I had a bit of trouble controlling Quill with enough precision to complete a few scroll challenges in some tougher areas, or not to die by fighting enemies that I could have beaten with my eyes closed if I had a proper button and joystick gamepad setup. However, by the time I was a few hours into my quest, I was running and jumping and slashing my foes with ease. I could tell I was getting better at controlling Quill and interacting with my environment, and by the end of the game I had mastered the controls and they just felt great.

I think what intrigues me most about Moss, is the possibilities it has opened my mind to. When I was young, my friends and I would sit around the table in my basement and play D&D for hours on end. Slaying dragons and besting foes of all sorts while we leveled our character’s and role-played till our hearts were content. At that moment we were living in the world that our DM had created for us. Much like how I was living in the world that Polyarc had created. After playing Moss and experiencing how the developers transformed the adventure genre into a living breathing world right before my eyes, my only hope is to be able to experience a full on multiplayer RPG in the Moss vein as well. This would truly be something special.

In closing, after 10 hours of game play (yes it took me that long) I am now ready for my next adventure with Quill... If only Quill was ready for me...

*Played on a Quest 2 linked to my PC*

Moss is astonishing. A tour de force, that would not be possible outside of VR.

You control a little mouse named Quill, and yourself, the "Reader". Each "page" of the book you are reading is a "screen" in the game. Its like a little diorama and you have to get from one end to the other. Sometimes this entails sword fighting, sometimes puzzle solving, sometimes running for you life. Each scene is crafted down to the smallest detail and is gorgeous. You will frequently interact with the scenery, moving platforms so they are close enough for quill to jump on and things of that nature. The puzzles and fighting are all fun and challenging, without ever becoming tiresome.

The bond between yourself and Quill is acknowledged, and is part of the story. There is also a voice that narrates the events. It all serves to draw you in deeper to the game. There are times Quill will turn around awaiting a high five from you, you see "your" reflection in still pools of water, the game is great at making you feel "there". I cannot stress how much the tiny little crafted environments help in this, looking around and running around with Quill is incredibly cool (a la Mario 64 back in its day).

My complaints with Moss are few and far between. The only one being I wish there was more of it. I clocked in at about 4 hours and felt like I took my time even in certain parts. I estimate I got around 75%+ of the hidden scrolls in my 4 hours. I feel like between now and the sequel, I will be going back and getting the ones I missed, Moss is so good, and is worth it.

So many VR games try and push the envelope of what is possible and/or want you to have a massive space to be able to play in. I wish more games were like Moss instead. Taking traditional game concepts and putting them in VR space and adding gameplay and visuals that only VR would allow. Another example of this, sadly Playstation exclusive, is Astro Bot Rescue Mission. Games like this are some of my favorite VR experiences and I find them astonishing. I eagerly await Moss 2.

9/10

Played on an Oculus Quest + Link.

This game is simply incredible. It's the kind of fantasy world I wanted to be transported to as a kid. The environments are stunning, the soundtrack is beautiful, the story is wonderful, and the gameplay is simple yet exciting. This game received a lot of love from its developers, and it shows. It's simply incredible.

I have played this before on Quest, but that was over a year ago. The settings of the levels you are put into are beautifully crafted; the graphics and VR enhance each level every time.

Was it worth buying again on SteamVR? Yes.

Was it worth replaying to attempt collecting all the Relic Dust and Forgotten Pieces? Hell yes.

Was it worth seeing Quill again with more polygons? ♥♥♥♥ yes.

I've had the most amazing time with this game and I can't wait for another one (please let there be another one).

I would HIGHLY recommend this game, BUT it is very short.

The Game is heartwarming, beautiful, and an interesting example of the potential for third person platformers in VR. But it honestly feels like the game is just starting to get going when it suddenly ends. I am dissapointed and want more, like a lot more in order to justify the pricetag.

The end of the game heavily implies a sequel, or some sort of extension of the game, but honestly I would not pay for a sequel if the game developers are going to charge a premium for such short games... Polyarc has already been paid handsomely for their very pretty tech demo, but it is time for them to actually come through with a game.

ultimately I am very conflicted. the game is awesome, but the under 4 hours of gameplay (just long enough that you cant ask for a refund from steam) that i got out of it was REALLY disappointing. and the fact that there is a weapons and armor upgrade system in the game that ultimately serves no purpose, and doesnt build to anything is really frustrating.

这是有史以来黑屏次数最多的VR游戏了！这游戏最大缺点，我觉得就是太频繁黑屏了！因为小老鼠移动时，玩家视角是没跟着移动的，我估计开发商是为了避免产生眩晕和性能问题，导致每移动一段距离后，就要黑屏切换到下一个场景（实际上是同一个场景，只是切换代替了移动），严重影响沉浸感，太出戏了！开发商还是没有跳出传统游戏设计思维，不知道黑屏次数过多对VR游戏来说是致命的缺点，VR游戏不黑屏一气呵成玩下去的感觉是非常爽的（你如果喜欢这游戏，想象一下这游戏如果少点黑屏的话会有多爽），几分钟就黑一次，如果不是有过硬的游戏内容，光是这个缺点我觉得就可以直接差评了，现在算是瑕不掩瑜吧。

之前也有过几款PSVR独占的好评游戏上架Steam，玩了后虽不至于觉得差，游戏确实制作精良，但都没觉得特别好玩，开发商貌似也都没上心专门针对PC VR版改进，发挥不出PC VR的优势。所以，我最初对这个Moss也是没抱太大期望，事先已知道这游戏的评价比远高于其他PSVR游戏，但这游戏既是第三人称又是用传统游戏手柄操作，看到Steam版支持VIVE控制器，真担心只是简单的进行了按键映射，还好并不是简单粗暴的移植，而且还给Steam版支持了中文，很上心的开发商。

原本以为这游戏只是作为上帝视角操控小老鼠，原来是一人操控两角，能够看到自己在水中的影子，操控小老鼠是很传统的摇杆游戏玩法，对VIVE控制器来说操作起来不是很顺手，就这个角色玩法来说，基本上相当于一个传统游戏VR化。第一人称的角色就是自然的VR玩法，你能够直接触碰和推拉物体，抢救濒死边缘的小老鼠等。战斗时你可以同时操控两个角色战斗，一边用小老鼠去攻击敌人，一边钳制敌人，同时操作的话，会考验双手协调性。算是创新又算是折中，一个游戏集合了传统游戏+VR游戏两种玩法，让玩家不是以上帝视角置身事外，而是参与其中。

总的来说，是个好游戏，开发商也很有诚意，不过不是我喜欢的类型（主要是受小老鼠移动方式影响，不管是用摇杆还是VIVE控制器，这种操作方式都很出戏，虽然也有VR玩法，但毕竟大部分时间都是在移动，让我感觉就像玩传统游戏而不是VR游戏），这游戏就算没VR模式，也算是个好游戏，VR的加持主要是身临其境的感觉。Oculus初期没有Touch控制器时，就有很多这样的第三人称VR游戏，Moss就像升级改进版Lucky’s Tale，如果你喜欢小狐狸，应该也会喜欢这个小老鼠。

Very pleasant puzzle platformer, would probably not have gotten into it as much without VR. Top notch presentation, fun puzzles and interesting combat where you can assume control of enemies to help you solve/win. Pretty standard for a game like this, but again the VR is what makes it. Be sure to lean in close to take in the rich details of the miniature world, and look up and around from time to time to see its scale compared to your normal human-sized perspective. A lot of love went into making it, and it really helped to sell me on what would have otherwise just been a cutesy cartoon story about a brave little mouse.

The controls, on the Vive anyway, are a bit of a pain. It has some configuration options, click to move or trackpad only, but like a lot of 3D platformers you really have to A) be able to line up properly to gauge your jumps, and B) be confident that the controls will do what you expect when you use them. It led to some frustration early on for me, but after I finally got the hang of it I was able to get Quill to do (mostly) what I wanted, and fortunately the game never sends you back very far when you do send the poor mouse to her death.

As for time to play, I'm about 4 hours into it and still have probably 1/3rd left to go, but I'm a tourist and as I said the environments are so well done I'm exploring every nook and crannie. You could probably blow through it in a couple of hours just trying to finish, but the atmosphere is half the experience for me so I'm taking it slow and enjoyin the ride.

Well worth picking up if you're in to this style of game.

I have not complete the campaign yet but this is (beside Beat Saber) already my favorit VR game by far. The animation are amazing and there are so many details. The presentation is really top notch and so far the game play is really fun. They really have a clever way to utilize the VR controllers and include you into world and story. The developer gave so much attation to the details, for example when you high five Quill and she is doing a little dance. Really cute. Because of these little things I immediately started to build a bond to this little mouse.

As I have some problems with motion sickness in other games I enjoyed this game even more, as you are stationary and everything is rather slow pace. I can also recommand to show this game to non-gamers and children.

This is truely how I want all AAA productions for VR and I really hope that Polyarc is producing more DLCs or a new game of similar quality. It is really a VR must have.

In Moss you are helping along a little mouse get through puzzles and fight little baddy-crabs. I didn't realize until playing this game how amazing a 3rd person (with some 1st person elements) game could look in VR. Much of that credit is given to the beautiful level design, the game feels like you are playing in a well crafted miniatures set. If you like puzzles, zelda-like games, and cute little mouse-people you will like this game. I'd say it's in my top 5 VR gamess.

I should note too that most VR games give me motion sickness. Since this game you are mostly in a fixed location it does not. If motion sickness is an issue for you as well you need not worry! (I added this comment because no one seems to include this in reviews, but supposedly 25% of VR players report VR causing motion sickness and I feel its worth mentioning)

Absolutely beautiful game, but the controls for vive are absolutely horrid. Borderline unplayable.

For example: The command for jump is to press the left controller right side of the touch pad. Except sometimes you have to press the top which has a %50ish chance of attacking instead, or possibly doing nothing. Sometimes two jumps in a row will work fine and the pressing the same place on the pad will do nothing for the third jump.

Movement using the touch pads on the vive wands is extremely clunky. Your mouse moves at two speeds and its very difficult to feel when she's going to switch, meaning you're going to run off the edges of everything. All the time, even if you think you pressed jump. The inconsistency in controlling your little mouse sometimes lead you to wonder if you're trying to make a jump that is actually impossible, or if you're supposed to go that way, but are just bad at jumping.


I really really really want to like this game, but the controls on the vive make it rage inducing.

Yes, yes, yes! This game expands VR in a novel, charming way. Immersive story driven platforming. It's like you're there!

I gave a toad a fist bump while shaking some mushrooms around and then poked the toad's eye. 10/10 Perfect VR game. This game has a sense of awe and wonderment that I haven't felt since video games became 3D.

Great storytelling and execution, beautiful environments. Puzzles are not super challenging but still fun. Controls with Oculus Rift S Touch controllers work pretty well. Looking forward to the next installment of this great game.

A VERY fun VR game for a more casual gaming experience, you get to sit in your chair and interact with a beautiful and cool world, not to mention the fact that you get to interact with the main character and they are adorable as heck.

If you're looking for a VR game that has an epic story, is full of character and fun to play without having to stand up or have a large play area Moss is one of the absolute best!

This game is so good that I beat it on PSVR and bought it again for PC. It looks better on PC and lets you physically walk around the environment (if you have space) and look in every nook and cranny. I'm going to replay it and try to find every scroll. It defaults to low graphics, but you can change it to high in settings. On Vive, you can make it touch trackpad to move instead of press. I had no issues controlling the mouse with the trackpads. It has great graphics, music, narration, and animation. It's basically like you're playing a "The Secret of NIMH"- like cartoon and can interact with the world with your hands. I did a video here

Moss is a VR-only puzzle-platformer that’ll charm your socks off. The story is framed around reading a book you’re physically pulled into, following which you become connected with the timid but responsibility-bound mouse Quill and adventure awaits the both of you. Although in typical platforming fashion you are directly in control of Quill your presence is regarded by the cast as a sidekick!

While this may be first title released under the Polyarc name it’s obvious that these devs are talented industry veterans. Firstly, the audio direction is brilliantly immersive with layered and detailed environmental sound effects backed by a subtle and whimsical soundtrack, it makes the whole forest feel like it’s teeming with life.

That veteran talent is also on display in the visual design, the dioramic environments have been put together with a careful thoughtfulness about how the scale will feel in 3D. It’d usually be easy to forget you’re watching over a tiny mouse, but looking up at the towering trees and wildlife puts the world in perspective. Textures are well detailed and there’s no clear compromise to visual quality despite the performance requirements of VR. With such strong audio, graphics and characterisation you will find Moss’s world absolutely engrossing.

So, full marks so far, what about the gameplay? Well, that’s a little more of a mixed bag. Moss definitely shows that platforming makes a great fit for VR, gaps have a physicality making jump judgements trivial. Using motion controls to spin and adjust platforms makes you feel powerful in contrast to tiny Quill and moving your actual head to look around the environments in search of hidden collectables is immersive like nothing else.

The tough pill to swallow in all this is the short 3-4 hour runtime and lack of replayability. Once you know the puzzle solutions and plot points Moss doesn’t hold the same magic anymore. I also reckon there may be more innovative VR platformers on the horizon as on reflection the gameplay is a little by the book. Hopefully Polyarc take the all-but-confirmed Moss 2 as a chance to flex their creative muscles and make something with a strong gameplay identity to go alongside their captivating one-of-a-kind world.

Beautiful game. took me ~4.5hrs to complete...

Family friendly, gorgeous graphics, very decent performance, tight controls, challenging puzzles, but easy to learn mechanics...

The final fight was incredibly well done (as the rest of the game) locations are very detailed and worthy of exploring... more than 10 times i stood up and walked around the room to see the little details on all the scenes.

Voice acting was great, audio queues are on point... maybe my only complaint is that i wanted to keep playing.

Cant wait for book 2!!! hopefuly it comes soon!

One of the VR "must have" titles. It's not visually mind blowing but you feel like you're there with Quill, helping her to solve puzzles and beat her ennemies. The game is not that hard and sadly not that long (less than 4 hours, DLC included), but it's still worth the money since you really live a charming little adventure that you'll remember.

Be aware that this is the chapter one of a larger story, hopefully the devs will give us episode 2 some day.

This is a VR must have for anyone that likes mythical landscapes and a solid story game! The game is beautifully crafted and the story makes you feel for all of the characters. It also plays very smooth, I have yet to encounter any glitches or bugs. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a solid VR story game.

I was on the fence on this game and then it went on sale in the Steam bundle deal. This is a great game and its no wonder why.... The developers had help from Valve. This game has mind blowing visuals. I was skeptical about controlling a little mouse in a VR world, but that all went away as soon as I started playing. Its not easy and its not super hard. Just the right amount of challenge. Put this in you collection for sure. My top 5 games so far. Looking forward to Book 2!

I LOVE this game, the world they've built is so very COOL, the use of the VR controls, the game play and the way they've blended it with the story - I just love it and I'm 50 years old! The scenes are lovely! I almost couldn't beat the biggest boss at the end - took 2 days but it did happen lol. This game is good for everyone. It says good for sitting but I had to stand - you just cannot sit down to play this game if you want to see everything and especially appreciate it all - make sure to look up, around and behind to see everything! ...Smash all you can (thats a hint)

Controls on the vive are terrible.
Totally wrecks an otherwise good game.
If your finger is too far towards the edge of the pad, the character just stops moving, and because so many things are timing based - you die - over and over and over. Very frustrating. You never feel you are in fully control of the character, and this is a platform game......
I also had to go Google how to let go of ledges when you are hanging on, which is insane, because nothing I did worked.
Sometimes the character keeps running in 1 direction even if you are not touching anything on the move pad, like it gets stuck.
There are buttons on the controllers, why oh why didn't the devs use them? Jump is one side of the thumb pad, sword is the other, but don't touch too near the edges else nothng happens.
Nice story, pretty graphics, interesting VR experience - totally wrecked by the controls.
Got to a level where I have to fight many mobs, but I can't win because it invloves moving about too much and dodging - and (have I mentioned this?) the controls scheme sucks - what's wrong with buttons?
After dying 20+ times I called "screw this game" because the controls are so bad. Hard to platform and fight with such terrible a control scheme.
You will think you are getting the hang of the controls, when they just don't work right again, because your thumb is 0.000001" too close to the outside edge of the thumb pad (but still on it) which will cause the character to stop moving so you to die. Again. Rinse repeat.

プレイする際は目の前に何もないようにしましょう。机に手をぶつけます。

Скажу сразу - игра понравилась как только увидел ролики, а когда сыграл, то игра мало того что оправдала все мои ожидания так она их еще и превзошла.

В Moss присудствует шикарная графика, отличные рисовки персонажей и окружения, прекрасно подобраная цветовая гамма. Механика игры выше всех похвал, сюжетная линия игры тоже на высшем уровне играть одно удовольствие. Сама же игра представляет собой динамическое приключение с элементами головоломок для VR устройст в которой мы играем за полевого тушканчика. Все персанажи досконально продуманны.

Впечатления от игры только положительные и их просто море. Без каких либо колебаний могу советовать игру абсолютно всем и любителям жанра и просто любителям поиграть во что то хорошее и прекрасное. Сюжет затягивает с головой, а блогодаря виртуальной реальности вы погружаетесь в ошеломительное путешествия без остатка.
Я думаю хватит рассказов - присоеденяйтесь к увлекательноу путишествию по сказочному миру игры.

Всем привет! Только что прошел игру, конечно жалко что нет русской локализации, но даже если ваш английский очень плох (у меня он на уровне средней школы, законченной 21 год назад - "зысыс зе тейбл"), то вы все равно поймете общую идею авторов, задумку, суть игры....она с легкостью передает вам общую картину посредством анимации (картинки) и звукового сопровождения. Возможно не всех эта игра заставит прослезиться или вызовет мурашки на спине от восторга (у меня это все случилось), но равнодушным точно никого не оставит. А если вы являетесь человеком впечатлительным, мечтателем и любите сказочные миры фэнтези, то будьте уверены эффект "ВАУ!!!" вам обеспечен в придачу с мурашками и слезами счастья, потому как эта игра заставит вас ощутить себя частью прекрасного сказочного мира.

I put off buying this game for some time. After picking it up on sale i feel as if i may have cheated the devs. This is a awesome little VR game that both new comers and veterans can enjoy. The graphics are beautiful and fit the style of the game perfectly, The art team did a fantastic job with the enviroments, i was really blown away here. The game is a puzzle/ platformer, and its made me relook the way platformers are made. If you like the genre this is a must buy, if your on the fence you might be pleasantly surprised i know i was.

艺术臻品之作，如果你有VR却没有这款游戏，那你的VR就相当于白买了。真诚的说，听着音乐，看着那场景，我感动的都哭了，这才是真正的童话，这才是真正的传奇！这游戏就是VR版的塞尔达！为了这一个游戏，买一个VR设备都是值得的。

而且全程都有中文语音，甚至有粤语语音，我都不知该说什么好。而且，我的VR设备是windows MR ,这游戏虽然没标注正式支持，但是windows MR 是基本完美支持的，除了操作目前只能使控制器上的圆盘，而不能使摇杆之外，一切都好。用圆盘操作容易失误，手感不如摇杆好。但是我相信很快就能支持了，总之一点不耽误玩游戏。（这里十分感谢社区里外国热心网友的帮助）

再说一句，这是VR游戏里最顶级的游戏之一了。除了流程有些短。所以这是全十分好评的小品级游戏。另外期待出音乐集。

Moss is a 3D platformer with action and puzzle elements, designed for, and only playable in, Virtual Reality.

In Moss you play Quill, an energetic field mouse who's rather fast on her feet and handy with a sword. One day Quill finds a magical glass that summons a "Reader", a much larger being with the ability to control the world around Quill. You also play the Reader.

Guiding Quill home, you meet Uncle Argus, an old mouse warrior, who is surprised and scared when she reveals you. He tells her that the magical glass that summoned you is very dangerous. Setting off into the night with nary a word, Uncle Argus only tells Quill that she can't leave the house until he returns.

As if she's going to listen to that ... .

I was a little disappointed with Moss to begin with. The game started in a sort of church-like building, with a book on a stand waiting for me to read it. Using the controllers I reached out and turned the page, and the story began, with a voice actor introducing the background of the world. It was all a bit ho-hum.

Once the introduction was finished, though, I found myself floating in the beautiful, lush forest of the Clearing, watching Quill as she foraged about and uncovered her magical treasure. Then she looked up and saw me, and waited for me to do something, and I looked down and saw myself reflected in the gently flowing stream. It was at this point that I realised that this was the best-looking VR game I'd played. Screenshots don't do it justice.

While the game is made up of a number of somewhat-disconnected screens, the world they create is wonderfully realised. So much detail has gone into each area, I still find myself simply wanting to look around and watch the world go by -- something which makes the lack of manual save points even more frustrating. Quill and the other mice in her community look simply amazing, with detailed models, beautiful textures, and realistic, but also fantastic animations. The game perfectly presents the feeling of watching a living, breathing world inhabited by tiny creatures.

Music, too, is wonderful, and sound effects are vibrant and suit the game perfectly. Voice work is limited to the book-reading sections between each major area change, and I have to say that the voice actor didn't do a great job. While the feeling of someone reading a children's book was well realised, I found the voices annoying enough that I wanted to skip through these sections quickly, for the most part.

Performance was fine on my GTX1070-based gaming laptop.

Moss is essentially a 3D action platformer with some basic puzzles, most of which are related to moving or rotating special glowing platforms. You play both the protagonist, Quill, and the Reader, yourself, and I thought this dichotomy ruined the otherwise fantastic sense of immersion that the game provides. I would have been much happier with more to do as the Reader, indirectly signalling for Quill to proceed, rather than having direct control over her. I also think that would have removed some of the game's frustrations.

The game is fairly short. I've taken my time with it, mainly because of control issues, but I've seen others have completed it in a handful of hours. It's made up of a number of small set-piece style levels or screens, each of which typically has a platforming puzzle to solve, enemies to kill, or both. Puzzles tend to be mostly the same -- drag this or rotate that -- while also controlling Quill in typical third-person platformer fashion, and combat is fairly repetitive, though the use of the Reader's glowy hand powers to help is a nice touch. There's a reasonable sense of progression as your make your way through the game, but after the first couple of hours I found it a bit of a hard slog, fighting more with the game itself than Quill's enemies.

Beyond some occasional technical weirdness, the game's limitations become evident after only a relatively short time. First, there are no manual saves; it's all checkpoint-based. If you want to go back and try to get a scroll or even just look at the pretty graphics a couple of screens before your current location, generally it's just bad luck. You can't! You can only restart each 'chapter' or resume from your previous position. Some of the puzzles aren't great, either. On one screen shortly after the first boss I found myself trying to jump onto a ledge that was right in front of me. Quill could jump on one right next to it fine because it had the 'magic' scratchy-looking texture, but not this one, even though it was the exact same height, distance, etc. It ruined the immersion a bit; there's no logical reason why she could only jump on the ledge the developers chose and not the one that I did.

Controls are wonky, too, and were the main reason I still haven't finished the game. I thought it was my hacked-together VR rig -- and I'm still convinced it's much harder than it should be because of this -- but seeing reviews from HTC Vive owners, I suspect there are actually problems with the core control scheme, too. Quill will sometimes move of her own accord, and camera angles, while changeable by looking around, do also tend to make jumps a bit hard to judge. I also found Quill's inertia and friction a bit off; why is the ground so slippery!?

Pros:
+ Wonderful immersion and interaction with Quill
+ Beautiful world and characters
+ Steam VR Collectible

♥♥♥♥:
- Weird dual-control ideas
- Long load times
- Checkpoint saves
- Some nonsensical restrictions
- Expensive

Let me say straight up that Moss is the most impressive looking VR game I've played so far. It's worth checking out simply because of that.

Okay, now that's out of the way, let me tell you why I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Moss is a perfect example of style over substance. It's short and its gameplay, while interesting because of the interface, is actually fairly simplistic, even bland in places. The game's premise is immersion: it draws you in right from the start, when Quill looks at you with wonder, and you glance down and see yourself -- a floating mask -- reflected in a stream. But then it takes that sense of immersion and shatters it. Why am I controlling Quill AND myself? I kept wondering. Here are my glowing hand-thingies, which I can move around to change Quill's world and allow her to progress, but why, then, do I also control her? For me the wonderful sense of immersion that the game produced was all but destroyed by this. Why is Quill prompting me for a high five after solving a puzzle when I both controlled the world and her to do it? The realisation that I was giving myself a high-five was too much.

But the game looks and feels SO darn good. The set pieces are phenomenal, like a sprawling fantasy doll's house come to life. Quill is amazing, too; her animations and reactions are so lifelike.

So I heartily recommend Moss as a VR experience. As a game, well, if you like 3D platformers and you don't mind fiddly controls and nonsensical platforming restrictions then it's probably worth a look from that point of view, too. Just bear in mind that it is very short for the price.


Note: I played this game on an Android phone using VRidge / Riftcat, with emulated Vive tracked motion controls.

You can high five the mouse.

10/10

A wonderfully enchanted, whimsical fantasy adventure. You will fall in love with Quill and his story!

TL;DR: I recommend this wholeheartedly if you are able to do some serious manual dexterity for the late game. Not so good if you really need to do the whole thing seated and your arms tire easily.

Pros:
Beautiful Graphics and Music
Engaging Story
Enjoyable Puzzle Mechanics
Get to High-Five an Adorable Mouse

Short (but pretty average length for VR)
Significant Spike in Dexterity Requirement
Reaching Can Be Hard if You Are Seated and Short
No Way to Adjust Anchor Point Without Physically Moving

I loved this game to start with, and was thrilled that I had found a VR puzzle game that was so well done. The puzzles are definitely designed from the ground up to be "physical", not just recycled from non-VR mechanics. The logic of them is consistent, and elements are introduced and built upon as you move through the game. Personally, I liked the "remember to look everywhere" aspect as well, as it encourages the player to really look at the scenery, not just speed through.

Unfortunately, I really do need games that I can sit in one place and not have too much demand for time-sensitive actions, and there is first a slow ramp up on the number of (autonomously) moving parts in the puzzles, then a very significant spike that I just wasn't able to manage. Based on YouTube Videos, the spike is pretty close to the end of the game, so I am wondering if this is an example of Dev Testing (people very familiar with the game being the primary testers due to time pressure, leading to an unintentional difficulty spike).

I am 5'2", and had to get up and take a step or two to reach certain game elements, because the play area exceeded what I could reach from a stationary position, and there is no way to scoot your avatar around except to physically walk. Given that the two modes listed are Seated and Standing, I found this disappointing. My VR area is not set up for this behavior.

I am aware, however, that my situation is unusual, so unless you are under similar constraints, I say grab it and enjoy. :-)

Its cute, fun, and a really good game.

Visuals are awesome, a lot of work went into this.
Some of the battles can be hard.
I find the controls are off slightly some times, but it doesn't stop you from getting things done.

People down vote for how short this is. I've just started and even if it ended now, I would say it has been worth it.
There is just something about it, this game really is magical.

재밌어요 스토리도 좋고 그래픽도 예쁘고 다 좋아요 다 좋은데 게임 내에서 점프로 넘어야하는 거리랑 캐릭터가 뛸 수 있는 거리가 너무 빡빡해요 점프 실패때문에 낙사해서 죽거나 계속 트라이해야하는 상황이 씨팔 계속 생겨요 허구한날 점프 실패하다가 성격 다 배렸어요 시발 좀 넉넉하게 만들어줄 수 있잖아요 개새끼들아 겜은 잘 만들었더라 재밌었네요 시발 점프만 좀 넉넉하게 해줬어도 샹 세상엔 저처럼 똥손인 겜존못새끼도 겜을 한단말이에요

Titles like these show that VR doesn't need to be first person, I'll take this over a FPS any day of the week.
The scale is amazingly well done and I think this game has my highest 'ooh' & 'wow' count of all times.
Gameplay is solid and the 'Reader' mechanics like juggling a couple of enemies around while guiding Quill over obstacles (and using mentioned enemies to move the obstacles) are refreshing.
You get pulled into the story and probably will want to complete it in one sitting - ah I'll just clear this zone and then go to bed - ended up in the middle of the night :D
Cannot wait for the next book and continue Quil's story!

No-one could've predicted a game anything like this would ever be made for VR. The concept, the gameplay, the mechanics... nothing is completely new, but this is the pinnacle of what they can accomplish put together with grandmaster artists at the helm.

Don't get me wrong; Moss isn't perfect. But IF a game this good is ever made again, it *might* be the sequel. I had an Atari as a kid, I've been around the proverbial block of Gaming. Moss may very well belong in universities being taught for game design. A lot of games belong in those classes as "What Not To Do", but Moss heads the section titled "You Wish You Could Make This".

I just bought this today and logged 2.5 hours straight on the Vive. I was on the fence buying this with all the comments about the controls being poor with vive wands. I have no issue what soever. The odd jump section that takes me 3-5 tries but that is it. the controls with touch instead of push work fantastic. Do not hesitate this is a gem of a game. Probably one of the best looking Vive titles (I have a lot of vr titles in my library). Gameplay is fantastic. Hats off to Polyarc for truly understanding what makes a great VR game.

EDIT- I finished this game in roughly 3 hours. At no point was the vive controlls any kind of real issue. I don't understand what people are whining about. At any rate this should be considered a must have for any VR owner.

I had this game on my wishlist for a while but as I wasn't really using my HTC Vive much so I didn't see the point of getting it until I saw the VR bundle on Hubble bundle which was too good to miss at the offering price of under £10 with other games too. Within a couple of days of getting the game I fired up my Vive to check it out and was stunned by the sheer beauty of this game.

You don't really appreciate how fantastic the graphics are until you get past the church and book reading during the start. That area is awesome in its own right but no where near as colourful or exciting as seeing your little mouse in the game habitat. The colours are vivid, the scenery is spectacular, game play amazing yet viewing on a monitor when someone is playing the game in VR simply does not do it any justice. VR makes the game so much more enjoyable, it's a must have just to experience what this game really offers. It's rare a VR title impresses as much as this one does.

Game play using the Vive controllers can get a bit tricky but not impossible. With practice it gets easier as you play more. The levels are quite a challenge at this early stage while figuring out the best way to progress while not missing any scrolls etc.

I give a 100% thumbs up to the developers for their effort and the sheer quality in designing and releasing a game as good as this one. I read there will be extra books/levels coming out in the future to expand the current story line. I will eagerly keep a close eye out for that and will purchase them without question.

If you want to see just what VR can do, this game will totally amaze you and I suspect convince you to get a VR headset.

Jogão, funcionou perfeitamente no Oculus Quest 2 com o Oculus Link. O jogo durou cerca de 4 a 5 horas, mal posso esperar uma continuação pra continuar a saga da Quill,

第一次在VR中看到如此....可愛的程度超過了現實中的幼小動物。遊戲本身也很有樂趣。

I want so much to like this game. It has more gameplay than other VR games in this price range (Beat Saber, Job Simulator) and is very polished. However, if you have a Vive, then the controls are quite frustrating. Moss was initially released for the PlayStation VR and it seems that the controls didn't translate well to the Vive, which is very unfortunate.
If you have an Oculus or Playstation VR, it seems like this is a great experience, but until the controls for the Vive are fixed, I will have to rate this game as not recommend.

I look forward to the updated version. I think this game is going to be one of the best VR games.

I bought this game because of the reviews absolutely gushing about what a phenomenal experience this game was. For me, it didn't live up to those reviews.

Yes, Moss is a visual and aural delight but the core gameplay is only OK-ish. But what really ruins it is the finicky control system. For example, it's far too easy to swing your sword instead of jump at a critical moment. Considering it's a puzzle game that requires you to repeat tiresome jumping and combat sequences if you make a minor slip, it's really annoying that you can never be certain of important things like in exactly which direction you're going to move.

I've only played it on the Vive, maybe it controls better on other systems? As it stands, it's the only VR game I've wanted to rage quit. That's not a good sign. Buy it if you want to see a good use of VR as a platformer, but don't expect a flawless experience.

Joguinho extremamente interessante.
Os puzzles que Moss apresenta são realmente incríveis. A parte mais impressionante é a capacidade de explorar um mapa que na realidade é fixo, por exemplo, quando você é colocado em uma certa área para resolver o puzzle e passar, você não pode ficar sentado na cadeira observando a fase. Caso você queira pegar os itens que estão espalhados por essa área, você precisa se levantar e observar cada canto escondido do mapa, o que creio que seja algo extremamente interessante da mesclagem que a empresa conseguiu fazer ao criar esse jogo para o VR.
Outro fator extremamente interessante dos controles VR é a capacidade de controlar os inimigos, possibilitando que esses passem a fazer parte da gameplay de forma direta. Isso deixa o jogo bem mais complexo, uma vez que para poder evoluir nas fases, você, além de se preocupar com os ataques dos inimigos, também precisa usá-los para passar de área.
A história que o jogo te apresenta faz você mergulhar junto com o ratinho na aventura que ele está passando. Além de você estar usando o VR e estar completamente imerso na experiência por causa da gameplay possibilitada por ele, o modo que a história é contada, transformando você no leitor, cria um ambiente muito imersivo para o jogador. Por último, também há a interação que você realiza com o ratinho que te conecta mais profundamente com ele, colaborando para a sensação de que você faz parte do jogo.
Essa análise não é um aprofundamento total em todas as áreas que o jogo te apresenta, mas são os pontos que eu achei mais interessantes enquanto jogava, principalmente por causa da experiência do VR que o jogo utiliza a seu favor.

そう、それはまるで絵本の中にあなたが入り込んで、その世界を自分で導くお話し。。。
あなたは青い光の玉を直接操り、Quillの冒険を助けながら、コントローラーでQuillを操ります。
単なるTPSのゲームじゃないの？と思うかもしれません。このゲームの一番の特徴は絵本の1ページとなるステージ（ジオラマ）がVRを通して目の前に広がり、その入り組んだ地形をあらゆる視点から確認をしながら進める必要があります。
例えば拾うべきScrollがあったとすると、それが樽の後ろに隠れて今見ている場所からは見えないかもしれません。また通路が建物や洞窟の中にあったとき、どこにつながっているか構造を見ながら見つける必要もあるでしょう。
そしてそのステージをクリアしたときに、本をめくる音が聞こえてくるのもまるで自分が本の目の中にいるかのようです。
コントローラーでのQuillの操作と、青い光の玉を手で直接動かす操作を同時に行いながら進めるこの新しい感覚のゲームの世界をお楽しみあれ。

This is a wonderful game! The stages are amazing and everything is so detailed! I even love the writing on the bottom of the table the book is on! Me and some friends are looking forward to the second book! Keep up the good work! <3

A Marvel of a game!
It took me 5 hours to finish it on my 1st playthrough!
The atmosphere, music, story and graphics, puzzles are all there!
Really gorgeous game!
If you have a VR headset, I recommend playing this very sweet story!

相當令人驚奇的平台解謎遊戲，玩家扮演.......玩家本身，引導小老鼠通過各種地圖與障礙，享受一個可愛的小小冒險。
利用VR帶給人更好的感官刺激，站起來看看不同的視角也可以找到藏在地圖中的卷軸，這是用滑鼠鍵盤螢幕所辦不到的體驗。

然後.....小老鼠實在太可愛了
全篇散發著「說故事」的特質，為了帶入感，有非常多語言可以選擇，進遊戲後用選單鍵較選單出來換語音與字幕。
語言支援多到誇張，連廣東話都有，驚人。
日語很好，中文也不錯，但....不習慣，還是放日語中字吧，很有繪本感。

音樂淡淡的在背景流淌，旋律相當舒服且迷人，敢把原聲帶拿出來賣的都很厲害。

畫面相當乾淨溫柔，在選單中可以調整畫質，970調全滿也無礙，不用擔心。

同類型遊戲還有愛麗絲神秘庭院Alice Mystery Garden，這也相當推薦
如果喜歡平台解謎類遊戲，這是肯定是最佳作。

最後提醒要玩得的人：坐著就好，偶而站一下檢查石頭後面即可，不用全程站著。

10/10，有興趣必體驗

Moss est un conte et un jeu d'aventure VR qui vous fera retrouver un petit bout de votre âme d'enfant. Je suis conquis !

Le joueur y accompagne une petite souris des plus mignonnes nommée Quill en incarnant un "lecteur", une entité surnaturelle qui l'aide en interagissant avec le monde tout au long de son périple. Le monde de Moss évoque celui de Trine, par son aspect enchanteur et ses sonorités paisibles.

En pratique on dirige simultanément les mouvements de la petite Quill, et effectue des actions à notre échelle pour permettre au rongeur de progresser. Le jeu se joue typiquement assis, mais il est nécessaire de se tortiller un peu pour découvrir ce qui se cache dans les tableaux s'apparentant à des dioramas.

J'ai quelques réserves mineures toutefois. Premièrement le jeu présente quelques pics de difficultés un peu curieux compte tenu de l'ambiance très zen, en fin de chapitres, sous la forme de combats pas évidents. Deuxièment les manettes du Vive ne sont pas idéales pour controler le personnage, ne disposant pas de joystick ; je soupçonne que les possesseurs d'Oculus Touch auront une expérience un peu meilleure. Enfin le jeu est malheureusement très court : compter environ 4h pour le traverser.

Malgré ça, je recommande vivement Moss. Son gameplay original et sa présentation charmante en font une valeure sûre dans votre ludothèque VR.

I don't do gaming review, mainly because I suck at them, but here ya go.

For me I wasn't really excited for VR, mainly because back then I didn't have people to play with, but this game MADE ME WANT TO get VR. Originally all I saw was a tweet with Quill (The Protagonist) used ASL. I knew at that moment I would have to get this game.

Yeah, sure... it's a VERY short game if you don't take the time to get everything, BUT hands down my most favorite game EVER in my lifetime. You fall in love with the story, the environments, the characters, even the narrator is amazing!

Trust me this game is worth every penny!

Moss ist der totale Underdog-Hit für VR. Hat mich sowas von positiv überrascht.
Es ist das Zelda bzw die Alternativ-Droge, die auf dem PC längst überfällig ist.
Und das ganze auch noch liebevoll für VR umgesetzt.

Begleite eine kleine Maus namens Quill - ausgerüstet mit Schwert und Schild - auf Ihrer abenteuerlichen (und leider viiel zu kurzen) Reise.

Man selbst hockt dabei quasi als unsichtbare Präsens mitten in der Kulisse und beobachtet Quill. Das Umschauen fühlt sich hierbei einfach toll an. Das ganze ist für "sitzende" Spieler ausgelegt; aber man kann sich auch selbst "raumfüllend" bewegen, wenn man will.
Und keine Angst wegen Schwindelgefühlen. Ähnlich wie bei älteren Zelda-Teilen (SNES/GB) wechselt die Perspektive (und somit auch der eigene Standort) nur, wenn Quill den Rand erreicht.
Die Maus selbst steuert man mit dem einen Vive-Wand (so ungefähr wie Mario Galaxy für Wii). ~hierbei vermisse ich schmerzlich einen richigen Thumpstick am Wand.
Mit dem anderen Wand greift man wörtlich direkt beherzt in's Geschehen ein, wenn Quill mal von Gegnern umzingelt ist oder ein über-Maus-hoher Stein den Weg versperrt.
Es ist auch nicht alles nur Action. Ein wenig Geschick für Sprungeinlagen und etwas Puzzle-Willen muss man auch mit haben.

Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist es aber viel zu schnell vorbei.
Nicht wundern. Mit meinem Account bin ich noch nicht durch. Hab's vorher separat bei 'nem Bekannten durch gespielt und im Anschluss auch für mich gekauft. Einfach um Support und Interesse zu zeigen; was hoffentlich auch in einen zweiten Teil ufert oder diesen zumindest wahrscheinlicher macht.
Und ich glaube, mehr in Richtung, ob es sich lohnt, muss ich dann auch nicht sagen.

Es ist einfach ein sehr gelungenes Spiel, was auch gut und gerne hätte 50 Stunden länger sein können :P

很不一樣的VR體驗，難得以第一人稱視角以外的遊戲方式，但場景又很不馬虎，解謎闖關方式加上完全不會有玩VR的暈眩感，讓我第一次玩VR超過三小時，大推阿，然後主角也太可愛了吧

很可爱，风格和其他vr游戏完全不一样

An adorable little platformer where you control the mouse Quill while maneuvering gorgeous environments and fighting the occasional creature. Feels like you are in a storybook.

为什么找不到中文和语音，pico3 不知道故事。。。。。

Beautiful game, specially in 3D, sometime very easy, sometime very hard :D but it is great!
I would be happy to play more.

Bello, muy bello. este e un juego ♥♥♥ escenarios del tamaño de maquetas absolutamente maravillosos. No quiero contar demasiado porque estos juegos que son tan completos tambien terminan siendo una experiencia de esas que solo se pueden vivir ♥♥♥ la Realidad Virtual. Finalmente decir que, POR ESTAR TRADUCIDO AL ESPAÑOL ME COMPRE ESTE JUEGO, DE NO SER ASÍ NO LO HUBIESE COMPRADO, por lo que se puede disfrutar de principio a fin para los hispano parlantes. Compra absolutamente recomendada

What do you get with Moss? For starters, bang for your buck. The game is short, sure, but full of content and lots of fun to explore. The art style is gorgeous, and the worlds and characters created in it are wonderful. I found myself stopping in every single level just to look around at stuff. It feels like you are playing with a dollhouse or some sorta miniature landscape. You often have to physically move around in the level to see where to send Quill, which gives you opportunities to see all the cool things you'd otherwise miss in a flatscreen game. There's so much detail to each level, but it's not overwhelming or distracting. But let me talk about the animation, because it's what really makes this game pop. The animations put into Quills movement and body language give so much life to her that I would often feel worried for her safety, or remorseful if I caused her to “die”. Not only that, but she interacts with you in many ways. You can sneak up behind her and startle her, you can give her a high five, you can pet her, and all the while it feels very immersive with the way she moves. 10/10 on world and character visuals for sure.

The mechanics are mostly good, very intuitive and a lot of fun. I will say that while a lot of the gameplay is easy, jumping some gaps requires almost perfect timing as they are spaced in a way that doesn't provide much room for error. The fighting mechanics are very easy and simple, but still lots of fun regardless. I do feel like it gets a bit wooden after a short while, but I couldn't say what might fix that. The puzzle mechanics are probably the best part. They really found a good way to make VR work for puzzles. You use your hands to interact with various objects, sometimes while simultaneously controlling Quill which can be tricky but fun. And you really have to move your head around to see where she is at and where to send her. They got really creative with using both VR and traditional controls to make for a very satisfying game. 8/10 for controls and mechanics.

The narration/voice acting and story reminds me of getting bedtime stories read to you by a parent or older sibling. I will admit it's a little cheesy, but it fits the childish fantasy world plenty fine. It's not a huge part of the game, though, as most of the time spent is in silence as you figure out puzzles. I would love to see them expand on this story, however, whether making a continuation or perhaps introducing more characters. 7/10.

I can't finish up this review without touching on the music. Jason Graves, the composer, did music for such games as Dead Space, Tomb Raider, And Until Dawn. I know for the majority of people, music is something that just fills the silence. But in Moss, they really did put a lot of work into the music. It doesn't just sound good on its own, it does a good job of fitting the entire art style. The music feels very magical and mysterious, similar to Jeremy Soule's Morrowind soundtrack, but also has some Russell Shaw's Fable vibes, too. Excellent, 10/10.

♥♥♥♥:
You might experience some neck pain from having to look down with a heavy HMD on all the time. I can't play this game for more than 2 hours before I gotta take a break.

It might have been my vive and its terrible touch pads, but the jump doesnt always register and got me killed a lot.

This is hands down the best and most complete game in VR..WE WANT SEQUAL NOW

The worst part about this game is there is no sequel yet

Genialna gra. Jedna z najlepszych w jakie grałem na VR.

I have never written a review on a game in the entirety of time I have had this steam account, but this game has made me feel so personally fulfilled that I have to tell the whole world about this, and I also want to commend/leave feedback for the developer as well. So let's start.

Firstly, the concept of how the protagonist interacts with the player is simply BREATHTAKING, and I felt so involved and connected with Quill. Polyarc really went to the depths to make the player feel as if they are IN the game, and this is ESPECIALLY important when playing in VR.

The implementation of VR controls feels simply smooth, and you can interact with Quill, or the environment around you, (The puzzles are user interactive, boxes are breakable by simply gripping them, you can make flora move by touching them, and there are quite a few physics objects you can mess around with, so that is an A+, Polyarc, well done. I do feel that the controls could use a little more work, it feels a bit awkward with how you jump and attack, and also I've noticed Quill will sometimes move and stay locked in that direction for a bit until I touch the controls again, which can be a little inconvenient in places where you can fall into the water, thorns, or fall into the abyss, not a lot of the maps allow room for careless running.

The story was very enthralling, I could easily follow the tale and the narration was a nice effect. However, some questionable thoughts came into my mind as I listened through. Firstly, I come from a deaf family, so I am VERY familiar with sign language and it's culture. When Quill speaks to me, she uses sign language or gestures, but when the narration speaks, it makes it seem like she can speak verbally, so my thoughts are, if she speaks with gestures, squeaks, sign language, why does the narration imply differently? It might just be me, but from what I've noticed, I don't see the other characters using sign language, and on a different note, the narration doesn't imply that she speaks through sign language, it just states what she's saying, as if she is verbally speaking. I'd like some more clarification on this, but overall, it does not bother me at all.

Also, I'd like to provide some information to the developer here, being hard of hearing, it can be difficult for me to notice when Quill wants my attention, in the deaf community, when we want to get each other's attention, it's very visual based, I do see Quill waving when she needs my attention, however, the issue lies with when I'm not looking at Quill, I'd like some visual prompt to get my attention when Quill wants to speak to me when she is out of my percipheral view and I think this would be more accomodating with other deaf people who potentially play this game since they won't be able to hear like me.

Onto the graphics. One word, beautiful. I'm not the most nitpicky when it comes to graphics, but I do pay attention to detail, antialiasing is great, and I can barely see any jagged lines, and this is very common in VR to see jagged edges, because the HMD is right up to your eyes, so Polyarc really has polished this for the port to PC, which, by the way, I have to THANK the developer for bringing this game to PC, when I heard it came out, I was so disappointed that it wasn't available for PC, and I didn't expect them to bring it to Steam at all, Polyarc, you have earned my respect! I really hope that you guys will continue to bring us more titles in the future, especially with book II. Back to the subject, I can't really get into details since the knowledge of my terminology regarding graphics is a bit limited, but I can say that i've been playing games for so long that I know when games are good looking, and Polyarc DEFINITELY has the right idea, please keep this up!

Another suggestion I'd like to bring to Polyarc, is to keep adding more interactions with the character, more interactions with the environment, and I'd love to be able to communicate more with Quill, or have her communicate with me more, and I'd love to see some more variations with her behavior. Also, I know it's common with VR games for them to be short, but I'd LOVE it if you can make the game length longer, more story, and perhaps more replayablility, perhaps finding treasures that make Quill stronger, or establishing a monitary system from collecting dust that allows you to purchase skills, or maybe even new game plus! I'd LOVE to see some more expansion into gameplay.

The VR industry is still on the climb to becoming more like modern non-VR games, and I believe Polyarc is one of those developers that will be a WONDERFUL example for other VR developers to follow. On my list, Polyarc has made number one in VR games. Great story, beautiful graphics, and original content. Recommended? No, a MUST HAVE.

Auch auf dem PC ein absolut tolles und packendes VR-Abenteuer! Hier geht es weniger um Action, als um die Story. Steuerung mit Oculus Rift gut, mit Vive etwas weniger gut. Grafisch absolut top!

At time of writing I haven't played through my PC copy yet, but I already played this on Playstation, so that's why my recorded gameplay numbers are low.

Moss is absolutely fantastic. Before playing this game, I was honestly skeptical of what VR could add to a third person platformer, or indeed third person games in general. Turns out the answer is: a surprising amount. The ability to literally stick your face into a level and look around makes figuring out the puzzles and finding collectibles a joy, and it really helps immerse you in the world of Moss. There's no character movement, as the game is presented as essentially a series of dioramas like the pages of its titular book, so that cuts out one of VR's biggest hitches without feeling like anything is missing.

The plot and setting of Moss are honestly fairly rote - a big scary badness awakens in a whimsical world of tiny folk, and you have to rescue someone from it. What makes the game special is the love poured into it, especially the protagonist Quill. Her movements and vocalisations are incredibly expressive, her animations are flawless, and the game allows you to interact with her directly - high fives, mussing up her fur, waving to each other. It really helps to sell you on the notion that this is a tiny little person you're helping out, not just a player model.

The controls are great, the setting is great, the audio is great, Polyarc really made something special in Moss. If I had to criticise, $40 CAD is quite a bit to be charging for a game that's about 3-4 hours long depending on how completionist you're being. It's not as bad as Rhombus of Ruin's launch price compared to its length, but that game's list price was also slashed in half when it came to Steam.

Looking forward to Book 2, right Polyarc? RIGHT??

Wat n schönes VR-Spiel. Der Miniaturwelt-Effekt ist großartig (und magenfreundlich) und der Teamgeist mit der kleinen Maus funktioniert. Es kommt immer wieder zu herzlichen kleinen Momenten zwischen Moss und einem selbst, die Chemie stimmt und belebt das ganze Spiel.

Die Steuerung ist eigentlich gut durchdacht, kann aber hier und da ein wenig fummelig sein. 3D-Sprünge mit einem Joystick sind selten eine gute Idee.

Ich mochte vor allem die Rätsel, die Dank hier und da hinzugelernter Fähigkeiten auch nicht langweilig werden. Die Action-Abschnitte sind wohl nötig, um das Spiel etwas spannender zu halten. Waren für mich ganz schön schwierig, ich bin oft gestorben, aber ich bin eh nicht so ein Fan von Hektik. Andererseits gibt es massig Rücksetzpunkte, wodurch solche Momente nicht in Frust ausarten.

Rundum zu empfehlendes 3D-Jump'n'Run.

这是有史以来黑屏次数最多的VR游戏了！这游戏最大缺点，我觉得就是太频繁黑屏了！因为小老鼠移动时，玩家视角是没跟着移动的，我估计开发商是为了避免产生眩晕和性能问题，导致每移动一段距离后，就要黑屏切换到下一个场景（实际上是同一个场景，只是切换代替了移动），严重影响沉浸感，太出戏了！开发商还是没有跳出传统游戏设计思维，不知道黑屏次数过多对VR游戏来说是致命的缺点，VR游戏不黑屏一气呵成玩下去的感觉是非常爽的（你如果喜欢这游戏，想象一下这游戏如果少点黑屏的话会有多爽），几分钟就黑一次，如果不是有过硬的游戏内容，光是这个缺点我觉得就可以直接差评了，现在算是瑕不掩瑜吧。

之前也有过几款PSVR独占的好评游戏上架Steam，玩了后虽不至于觉得差，游戏确实制作精良，但都没觉得特别好玩，开发商貌似也都没上心专门针对PC VR版改进，发挥不出PC VR的优势。所以，我最初对这个Moss也是没抱太大期望，事先已知道这游戏的评价比远高于其他PSVR游戏，但这游戏既是第三人称又是用传统游戏手柄操作，看到Steam版支持VIVE控制器，真担心只是简单的进行了按键映射，还好并不是简单粗暴的移植，而且还给Steam版支持了中文，很上心的开发商。

原本以为这游戏只是作为上帝视角操控小老鼠，原来是一人操控两角，能够看到自己在水中的影子，操控小老鼠是很传统的摇杆游戏玩法，对VIVE控制器来说操作起来不是很顺手，就这个角色玩法来说，基本上相当于一个传统游戏VR化。第一人称的角色就是自然的VR玩法，你能够直接触碰和推拉物体，抢救濒死边缘的小老鼠等。战斗时你可以同时操控两个角色战斗，一边用小老鼠去攻击敌人，一边钳制敌人，同时操作的话，会考验双手协调性。算是创新又算是折中，一个游戏集合了传统游戏+VR游戏两种玩法，让玩家不是以上帝视角置身事外，而是参与其中。

总的来说，是个好游戏，开发商也很有诚意，不过不是我喜欢的类型（主要是受小老鼠移动方式影响，不管是用摇杆还是VIVE控制器，这种操作方式都很出戏，虽然也有VR玩法，但毕竟大部分时间都是在移动，让我感觉就像玩传统游戏而不是VR游戏），这游戏就算没VR模式，也算是个好游戏，VR的加持主要是身临其境的感觉。Oculus初期没有Touch控制器时，就有很多这样的第三人称VR游戏，Moss就像升级改进版Lucky’s Tale，如果你喜欢小狐狸，应该也会喜欢这个小老鼠。

What a beautiful game! Out of all the VR games I've played through steam OR directly through the Oculus store, this is by far my favorite of them all. Very polished and planned! I love the navigational puzzles/obstacles and really enjoyed trying to figure out how to get through this or that door! Played through on Quest 2 with absolutely zero issues. Wonderful story, gorgeous graphics, fun gameplay - There's really nothing I didn't love about this game. As a matter of fact, it's one of the few games in my library that I would actually want to play again in the future. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciates platformers, stories, or aesthetics!

A masterpiece.
Fantastic graphics (insanely beautiful).
OMG so cute I wanna die characters.
Challenging gameplay.
Fantastic story.

The only complaint I have is that there isn't more of it. NEXT CHAPTER, PLEASE!!!

Just buy it already.

I don't like mice. I don't like rats. The main character is a mouse. I find this to be one of the most charming games ever made. That's how good it is. The main character is adorable.

为什么选择中文却没有中文语音呢？求大神解惑

This game played with the Valve Index has set a new bar in VR game for me. Fantastic game play, brilliant puzzles, jaw dropping beautiful scenes. I was more, please give us more.

Hermoso juego hecho ♥♥♥ amor, ♥♥♥ esmero por dar calidad no solo gráfica y sonora en un montón de cosas sino tambien en la historia la cual te termina involucrando sentimentalmente ♥♥♥ la ratita. A la espera del próximo juego el cual voy a comprar sin dudarlo porque hicieron un trabajo excelente

An absolutely beautiful piece of VR storytelling.

Finished in 3.2 hours on first run- it may seem short, but it's very content heavy.

Great characters, environments, sound, graphics, and story.

The sense of presence is the strongest I've felt in a VR title so far. The role of the player is an active one, despite it being a "3rd person" game. Tracked controllers are used in a perfect way to interact with the world and it's actors.

The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes the platforming would ruin the rhythm/pacing of the game, but this was pretty rare. During the final boss, there are a few bits of platforming that I found difficult. Running away from a big scary boss is awesome, but resetting and running away from it multiple times felt... lame.

Overall I highly recommend this to any VR user. Even if you don't like platformers, the way the game uses VR should be experienced.

Go in blind!

Un imprescindible de la VR. El plataformeo ♥♥♥ la resolución de puzzles encaja a la perfección ♥♥♥ la realidad virtual. El diseño artístico y de escenarios es muy bueno, y los niveles variados. Por no hablar que cuanto más jugamos más vamos encariñandonos ♥♥♥ nuestra querida ratoncita Quill.

El único aspecto negativo (y no es del juego en sí) es el control ♥♥♥ los mandos de HTC VIVE ya que al carecer de stick el movimiento muchas veces falla a nuestros deseos y muchas pulsaciones se pierden por que no se ha tocado la parte correcta del trackpad.

Pero quitando eso, todo lo demás es una delicia. QUIERO LA SEGUNDA PARTE YA!

Actual message I wrote to my friends in some discord: "Guys I played moss the other day. Got it recommended for so long and always thought "yeah probably nice and all but I like RPG action". Man I was wrong. What a wonderful game, it got it all, it's beautiful, it's cute, it's got puzzles that are fun and solvable (looking at you vengeful rites!), destructible stuff to collect things, achievements, and it has some real action going at times. Great game 10/10 if you haven't played it drop your ♥♥♥♥ and do it now."

I do a lot of gaming. A LOT of gaming. I also don't do a lot of reviewing. MOSS is a game I think NEEDS to be reviewed. From the interactions with adorable, lovable main character Quill to the crafting of each detail in the world, this is one of the few games I consider a masterpiece of it's craft, and the only VR game so far that I immediately want to experience again. Even between scenes, sitting in an empty library, the detail and thought put into this game was wonderful.

La meraviglia è un sentimento che nella natura umana va scemando ♥♥♥ gli anni. Sembra una banalità, ma oggettivamente avanzando ♥♥♥ l’età è sempre più difficile che qualcosa riesca a stupire come quando si era bambini e ogni cosa sembrava incredibile, mastodontica e in grado di coinvolgerci completamente e visceralmente. ♥♥♥ la realtà virtuale si scopre però che quel sentimento è ancora lì e aspetta solo di essere risvegliato da qualcosa che non solo non abbiamo mai visto, ma neanche immaginato. Anche qui, però, il giochino finisce in fretta e nonostante la VR sia facilmente in grado di coinvolgere, dopo un po’ ci si fa l’abitudine e si vive come un linguaggio al pari degli altri. Ogni tanto però arriva un titolo che è in grado di risvegliare nuovamente la meraviglia, amplificarla e renderla un’esperienza indimenticabile. Quest’ultima rimarrà impressa nella nostra memoria come uno di quei rari momenti in cui il coinvolgimento emotivo di un’opera è riuscito a superare la conoscenza intrinseca che abbiamo del medium. Ecco, Moss è uno di questi titoli.

Mi si perdoni la lunga introduzione, ma l’esordio di Polyarc è un titolo meraviglioso sotto tutti i punti di vista e dato che trovare cotanta qualità in un titolo VR è più unico che raro, una sorta di dichiarazione d’amore preventiva è quasi dovuta.

Moss è un titolo d’avventura come difficilmente se ne vedono ad oggi, specialmente in realtà virtuale. Abbiamo fasi platform, momenti action e puzzle ambientali; abbiamo una storia semplice ma efficace raccontata attraverso uno storytelling impeccabile che sta a metà tra Bastion e Child of Light e abbiamo finalmente una direzione artistica degna di questo nome.

La cornice narrativa che fa da sfondo alle vicende legate alla protagonista Quell ci vede all’interno di una splendida cattedrale di fronte ad un grosso tomo, che pagina dopo pagina ci scandirà ♥♥♥ grande eleganza i diversi capitoli dell’avventura. Attraverso l’uso di una voce fuori campo, la narratrice racconterà pedissequamente ciò che succede a schermo e interpreterà le voci dei protagonisti in un racconto che ha il gusto della fiaba ma che non risulta mai stucchevole.

La storia è quella del topolino Quell, che trova per caso un artefatto magico che ha un ruolo chiave nel regno in cui vive e che la legherà per sempre ad un antico guardiano dai poteri sovrannaturali e dall’estetica vicina a Miyazaki. Il nostro ruolo sarà proprio quello del guardiano che guiderà la protagonista e interagirà ♥♥♥ l’ambiente per aiutarla a superare gli ostacoli che si presenteranno sul suo cammino.

个人不喜欢玩VR解谜，戴个笨头盔想半天。但这个作品解谜与战斗难度都恰到好处，进行流畅，并且也有充分利用VR互动。
鼠宝很可爱，作为上帝之手，你可以抓她回血，可以抓敌人内斗，可以推墙碎瓶子。。注意她偶尔伸出小手除了提示你目的地，还有可能是要和你击掌~
后期内容更加丰富，场景美丽壮观，装备不止是装饰，出招也会变化，你还要辅助施法，有时手忙脚乱但不会累。
总之非常推荐！

不要在河面上看自己的脸

Great story-telling game. Even though it unfortunately feels short, it's a really good game.

Очень милая игра с интересными идеями, историей и механикой. Главный её недостаток – она короткая. Но не смотря на это одна из лучших чистых VR игр.

I've tried about 25 VR games so far, and this is the best, at least on PC. It's emersive and entertaining, enjoyable with good puzzles, perfect for VR interaction, nice graphics and great story telling.

전 바보 멍청이 입니다. vr게임인줄 모르고 받았다니 진짜 멍청이 ㅠㅠ

Easy one of the best story driven VR experiences i've had so far. Not sure what all the fuss is about regarding controls, it took me a few minutes to get used to them like any other game.

The game really does make you feel like you're watching a story play out, from its diorama like levels, to the excelent narration.

This is part of my script from a video I created. You can either read the script here, or listen to it on YouTube.

Moss is a Platform Puzzle game which has you controlling a little mouse named Quill, while simultaneously using your hands to interact with various objects within its beautifully crafted world. Nothing compares to a platformer in VR, especially one like Moss.

The way the story is told is something I would have never imagined. You are in a large cathedral hall with a book in front of you, and you are known to Quill as "The Reader". Upon opening the book, there are pieces of the story narrated to you, and then you enter the book itself to work directly with Quill and share the story with her. It's a beautiful way to tell a story, and in the middle of each chapter it takes you out of Quill's world and back into the cathedral to continue the storytelling from a different perspective. During this time, you notice that day suddenly turned to night, and it gives you a sense of actually becoming so immersed in a book, that you lost track of time, and completely immersed yourself in the story of the book to the point where you were no longer focused on your surrounding (those surroundings being the cathedral hall). This is something which happens to us when we are deep into the story of any book we read... we get lost in the visions of our imagination, and forget about the world in front of us. I can't begin to express how amazing this feels, and it's something I wish I could experience every time I read a book.

Without spoilers, the story is simple, and the primary objective is to make your way to a castle to find your uncle. Throughout your journey, you fight various enemies, complete challenging environmental puzzles, and gain a few new powers as your progress through the 4 hour story campaign. And Quill can’t do this all on her own, so she needs you there to help her during her travels.

Quill is the most charming character I’ve ever seen in a game. I actually looked up the most charming video game characters on The Google, but I only saw fake articles, which all had false information, because Quill wasn't on any of the lists I found. Quill is definitely in my top 3 most charming video game characters, next to Prince Sidon from BOTW, and Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition. Quill has such a great personality, and she really shows a lot with her body language. You can see Quill express her fear, sadness, excitement, and joy. And when you complete more challenging puzzles and fights, she rewards you with a high five, and an adorable dance, which gets better and better as your progress through the story.

The environments are amazing, and I was always excited to see what was next. Each scene has its charm, and every one of them is beautifully crafted, with plenty of variation to keep you entranced throughout Quills journey.

Moss shines not only in the beauty which each environment brings. But the ambient sounds are absolutely breath taking, and gave me chills when hearing owls, frogs, and crickets in the night, and every environment has its own unique sound... Not only are you already immersed in VR visually, but Moss does an absolutely amazing job with their audio design. Everything from the sound of Quill’s sword hitting enemies, pots, and boxes, to the sounds of blades of grass shuffling around as Quill runs through them all brings you deeper into immersion with the world.

The soundtrack isn’t on the same level as Ori & the Blind Forest, but it definitely has its moments. and I have to say, Morla Gorrondona, who narrated the entire story did an amazing job, and really sells the fantasy storybook feel.

The controls are simple, and if you’ve played any 3D platform games before, then you’ll be very familiar with the controls with Moss. On the Index Controls – and other controllers are very similar I’m sure -, the left thumb stick is to control the direction of the little one. You use the A button on the right controller to jump, and B will swing your sword. Pressing B once will give a single swing, and pressing B 3 times quickly will have Quill perform a large sweeping attack, and this varries depending on which weapon you are using. If you attack once or twice, you have the opportunity to quickly dodge by pressing the A button quickly after attacking. Whichever direction your left thumb stick is facing at the time, will be the direction which little quill will make her dodge towards. The A button while not attacking will be used for jumping and pulling yourself up ledges or dropping from them.

This is where the controls get fun. With your triggers on either controller, you can interact with the environment more directly. You are able to heal Quill by pulling the trigger over her body and pulling away to lift her up. Enemies can be manipulated by holding the trigger over them, and there are other various interactions such as opening doors and assisting with puzzles. You can also light torches and break boxes for dust.

Speaking of dust, there are 2 types of collectibles in the game which earn you achievements. Sparkly dust can be collected by breaking boxes, pots, and other various objects either with Quill’s sword, or you can do this yourself with your hands and the right trigger on the controller. The second collectible is mosaic fragments which create an image when you collect them all. Some of the mosaic fragments can be challenging to find, so make sure to look through each scene thoroughly, otherwise, this will give you an excuse to play through the story again to collect all of the pieces.

So, let's get into the heart of the gameplay. Puzzles. At first, the puzzles are simple, and Quill herself can overcome most puzzles on her own. But later on, you need to work together with Quill, both with puzzles and in combat. You may be asking yourself how you are not already working together with Quill when you are controlling her movement and attacks. Well, you have two hands - which look like blue orbs in the game - which are able to move through the world which Quill lives in, and you are able to manipulate enemies and work with her to complete puzzles, as mentioned earlier.

The way which this is introduced to you is perfect, and it starts slowly, with it gradually building up to intense combat sequences where you must defend Quill by manipulating enemies around her, while she is attacking her own set of enemies. Keep in mind, when I mention Quill and yourself, you are controlling both.

In one combat scenario I was using my left controller thumb stick to control Quill's direction, and using A and B on the right controller to jump, dodge, and attack, all while using both hands to reach out in front and to the sides of me to manipulate enemies using the trigger on both controllers, all to assist Quill while she (myself) attacks a single enemy without becoming bombarded by the others.

Of course, you will never experience this kind of combat technique in any flat-screen Platformer, and what the developers of Moss did is absolutely incredible, mind blowing, and makes me want to cry all at the same time. I say it makes me want to cry (and I did, several times) because I have never experienced something so satisfying in gaming until now. The interactions you have with Quill are perfect, and I couldn't ask for any more.

The puzzles are designed brilliantly. There were definitely a couple which I had a tough time on, but with a little more thought, I was able to complete them. If you are having a tough time, Quill will notify you of your objective with a pointed finger, which I thought was brilliant.

This game is astonishingly, breathtakingly beautiful. Not in the traditional graphical power sense, but in the atmosphere and sheer detail of the areas. Every level is like a 3D diorama, and several areas are so gorgeous they resemble a 3D painting. I can't recommend this game enough.

The actual storyline is passable. No marks for or against it. The gameplay is a puzzle platformer; the puzzle elements are fun, engaging, and for the most part unfrustrating. The combat is good but not great. The main character is disgustingly adorable.

Es maravilloso de corazón os lo digo. QUE MARAVILLA DE JUEGO!

Es de estos juegos cortos pero mágicos, una de las muestras mas claras de que en VR no solo funcionan los FPS.
Ya lo demostró Astro Bot en PSVR (Para mi el mejor plataformas de VR) y ahora Moss, ♥♥♥ uno de los personajes mas entrañables que he visto en un videojuego.

Interactuar ♥♥♥ Quill es una autentica gozada, los puzles, la música, los gráficos... Todo esta tratado ♥♥♥ un mimo increíble y mención especial a las animaciones de Quill, impresionantes.

Debo sacarle un PERO, que espero de verdad, se haga en la siguiente entrega y que me ha sorprendido que ♥♥♥ lo que han vendido, no lo hayan hecho en esta entrega a través de una actualización como en otros juegos de VR.

Por favor, que la siguiente entrega este doblada al castellano. Entiendo el ingles y no hay problema para entender la historia, pero los subtitulos ♥♥♥ ese pedazo fondo negro en esos entornos tan bonitos saca de la experiencia y sinceramente, estando narrado como en un cuento, esto debe si o si estar doblado al castellano en la próxima entrega.

Aunque me ha encantado me parece caro al precio que piden, he tenido suerte de comprarlo por 5€. Pilladlo si o si, porque es de lo mejor que hay en VR a día de hoy.

BRAVO Polyarc

Moss - Eine unendliche Geschichte live erleben

Das Spiel ist mit seinen 3 bis ca. 5 Stunden keine lange Geschichte und der Preis von ca. 25 Euro erscheinen einem auf den ersten Blick vielleicht zu hoch, doch da täuscht man sich. Ich könnte jetzt ausholen und von Absatzmärkten schwadronieren, aber das hat Moss gar nicht nötig. Die liebevoll gestalteten Level und der wohl überdachte Einsatz der Möglichkeiten der VR-Technik alleine sind schon den Preis wert. Dazu kommt noch der ganze Charme der Figuren und der liebevoll vorgetragenen Geschichte durch die Erzählerin. Leider bleibt das Ende offen, denn nach dem Endkampf erfahren wir, dass es nur das erste Buch der Reise ist, die wir begonnen haben, und ich bin schon gespannt darauf, wie es mit Quill und ihrem Großvater weitergeht.

Ganzer Review unter: https://evolution-of-silence.de/mainpage/index.php/7-news-allgemein/858-moss-eine-unendliche-geschichte-live-erleben

Moss is an absolutely brilliant game. It takes the typical platforming perspective many people are accustomed to and adds a whole other dimension to it (quite literally). It has beautiful music, a wonderful fantasy setting, and a really simple yet interesting story. The puzzles and platforming sections are interesting, the enemies aren't too difficult (I believe difficulty can be changed in settings), and I love the cute quirkiness of main character as you interact with her and her surroundings. This is a great game and well worth the price.

画风清新，这种上帝视角的操作方式还是挺不错的，就是场景切换比较慢。
虽然可以割草让我想起了wii上的萨尔达，不过其实还是更接近古墓这种arpg。
解谜难度不大，操作手感还可以吧，不过控制敌人的时候攻击方向的指定比较坑。

竟然还有粤语配音，简直好评如潮（
最后本来以为是完结撒花的，结果是To be continue……
什么时候把故事出完哇

Dels millors jocs en 3a persona en Realitat Virtual. Super recomanable.

可爱风的VR游戏，很治愈。BGM、配音、画风好评，操作感良好，可以坐着玩。

Simply put - You haven't played VR until you've played Moss. I've played pretty much all the best games such as Lone Echo, Robo Recall, Skyrim, etc. This game takes the cake, easily. The story is wonderful, the immersion is incredible, the gameplay is fantastic, and the music is amazing. I love this game and I hope to see more games like this on the Oculus in the near future!

A really short and compressed down review after finishing the game:

A really awesome ~4 hour adventure with great story telling, music and visuals! The controls can be a bit wonky at times and a few times my headset "drifted" away for no reason despite the Steam interface staying at the same spot all the time.
I'd really recommend this game to anyone loving story-telling games with puzzle elements!

If you do not have a VR headset this is a game you should buy a VR headset for, no monitor will ever make you feel what's like playing Moss.

Must have games and one you'll remember, thankfully book 2 is already out on Steam!

Well done to the developers!

First time I tried this game I was a bit skeptic and did not get hooked, it looked too simple and boring.
Second time I tried it I played for a bit longer and really liked it. It just starts slowly and gently.

Moss is a fixed-screen puzzle-platformer VR game where you get to control and interact with a little mouse called Quill. The player is the "reader", and is part of the game storytelling (ie you are a kind spirit for the little mouse). This is cleverly done, as when you are playing you are "in" the game, and when switching to cutscenes you are set back to the "real world", where you are reading the story that is happening, similar to how it is done in The Neverending Story. There is no speech (except for the narrator's, that reads the book), but the mouse use gestures.

The level of polish and overall attention to detail in this game are high, which is a rare feat in VR games.
While the platforming and puzzles are nothing too special (they just do the job, they are simple puzzles satisfyingly adapted to VR controls) the environments however are pure marvel. Moss is a game where where mostly everything is mice-scaled, like a dollhouse, and it looks gorgeous. The graphics are about the best I have seen in a VR game.

This is a short game (~4h) with little repetition, so I wish it was longer ! It ends a bit abruptly.
The devs were planning for a sequel, which hopefully has been confirmed not long ago.

Played using a Rift S, with in-game graphics setting set to high, and ODT Pixels Per Display Pixel Override set to 1.6.

This is one of the good VR games, grab and buy it!

The gameplay is groundbreaking, for you can control a humanoid mouse character like in an jump & run game. You yourself are a "god" who can interact with the current world and level. So you have to help your little mouse in order to win all the challenges, but you always have control about everything.

You always have the feeling that the mouse still has a mind of its own and one of the best experiences is when you are giving the mouse a high five after completing a challenging task. This game suitable is for children as well as adults and gets very emotional. I like the story arc for its great narrative and delivering its promise ;)

Avant je ne comprenais pas l'intérêt d'un jeu de plateforme en VR. Puis j'ai joué à Moss. Un level design bien pensé qui sert un gameplay qui vous forcera à bouger la tête dans tous les sens pour bien cerner les parcours et les puzzle qui nécessite des interactions du joueur sur le terrain voir les ennemies pour avancer. Les ambiances et les décors magnifique m'ont vraiment immergé dans leu et fait me sentir presque aussi petit que le héros que l'on aide. Je me suis même surpris à m'arrêter devant la plupart des décors et notamment certains arrières plans où je me suis vraiment posé deux minutes juste pour admirer tout autour de moi. Bref je suis heureux que Moss m'ai montré qu'un plateformer peut intégrer tous les outils de la VR et réussi à me faire aimer une jeu de ce genre qui n'est pourtant pas ma tasse de thé. Un incontournable de la VR à mon avis. Juste dommage que le jeu soit cour (5h en rageant sur certains niveau).

Es el "Trine" de la Realidad Virtual, pero para un único jugador....aunque encarnamos a dos personajes de una forma maravillosa: la protagonista Quill (3ª persona) y un semi-dios para echarle una mano (en primera).

Obligada compra para tod@ nuev@ usuari@ a esta reciente y fantástica forma de jugar a los videojuegos:
Mi nota: ***** (5/5)

THE BEST INDIE GAME ON VR, change my mind! 😁
Extremely cute, exciting, story is amazing, I felt so sad in some moments as well as scared.. love it.

Breathtakingly beautiful! I enjoyed every second of this heartfelt game.

cute little mouse

Great story, amazing visuals and a completely novel VR experience.

什么叫VR游戏！精致的画面，杰出的互动，还有超可爱的小老鼠！场景切换略显生硬，屏幕一黑只能看到vr屏幕的噪点，比较影响游戏体验，然而不影响她成为一部优秀的VR游戏作品！支持！大赞！求续作！

100% one of the best VR experiences i have had. Story amazing, Graphics amazing, Puzzles amazing. Cant recommend it enough.

I was a bit on the fence about getting this game or not, as it looks a bit bland from the screenshots and videos, but I'm glad I bought it because this is a very well crafted puzzle/platformer.

It is very well beautifully designed, from levels to animations, and the gameplay is really fun and makes really good use of VR; I would consider this one of my top VR titles so far.

I don't care much for the story but I care a lot for that little mouse. She's super cute! Sorry lil mouse for leaving your high fives hanging until I got the hang of it.

I paid 1079 EUR for my Valve Index and this game alone was worth it. It's a completely novel visual experience even after trying many other VR games. Beautiful miniature landscapes in a variety of styles. Right concept to get the most of today's VR headsets, and executed masterfully. Unlike most games, lighting is done correctly.

finished the game, without doing full collection but about 80% of them I guess...
First thing first, I don't make any not-recommend. However, for this game, you need to ready to deal with some controlling issue and that make game progress bit harder/ tiring.

Actually, I believe we appreciate the guide and tips for the controller setting... however not seems quite fix some issue...
Beside this game brings me fun and I will say it's a nice experience with cute character and beautiful sightseeing(love the map/texture? that rendered on the details), the music fits the scenario. It should be a nice journey.

However, It also brought me frustration. It is from the control issue, besides always slide automatically and Quill seems always wearing a pair of skates.
I don't know it is on purpose, while I controlling the shooting enemy, I cannot control Quill to attack or so. And turn the enemy around feels... a bit tricky on control.

I am still checking if it is my controller's issue that the attack and jump pad button from left and right become left and top. And often has the issue of responding...which makes me falling off multiple cliffs multiple times.

And talks about the times that fall off cliffs, I am not sure i am too noob for this or it is meant to show the "a little" for jumping. 5/6 of my death is due to fall off the cliff and spend most of my time to jump on the cylindrical rock(and so on...). Sometimes...you just don't know why you cant jump from this side and only on one certain point which both of them are at same height... For that reason, I give up for the collection.

Anyway. A great game, just frustration with the distance of jumping and controller issue.

oh, btw.Really appriate the locallization. Just bit funny things since i am using japanese audio and chinese subtitle. And sometime, they are different on their meaning in detail _(:з」∠)_

Buy this game. Just incredible. I don't want to even say anything about it, because there are moments of surprise and awe that I don't want to say much about - especially when you first start playing.

It is a third person VR puzzle platformer with combat elements, like a mix of The Last Guardian and Zelda.

The only issue at the moment is the controls (Vive) and the brevity.

The controls for using levers is busted for Vive, you're required to magically hit the secret spot on the track pads, and it only works for me about 50%, which can be problematic when timed. It's a bit of an unforced error too as the grip buttons are unused and would easily be recognizable as activation buttons.

The brevity I'm sure will be remedied as the success of this game will bring much more of Quill and the Reader.

This is the only non first person VR game I have ever played and I'm really surprised how well it worked. Normal 3D action games might never be the same again.

This is incredible!!! VR is getting better and better. The detail is AMAZING! Good story and immersion is great! Highly recommend. May be the clearest most detailed VR game I’ve seen yet!

求问这个中文字幕的设置界面如何打开？？我用的是PICO，游戏可以正常进行，但无论按什么都找不到设置页面

absolutely one of the best VR titles i played, if you have a headset do get this!!!

So ein wunderschönes VR Spiel habe ich selten gespielt. Es ist mit so viel liebe gemacht und die Geschichte klasse erzählt, einfach unbeschreiblich. Ein absolutes muss für jeden VR Fan!.

为啥会黑屏啊。。

This game is amazing I loved every second of it truly wonderful. It is best played with the Index controllers.
I can't honestly recommend it enough if we had more games like this VR would really take off. Hope the second game is not far off.
